The population of the city is around 3,000, and FHS services about 360 students from grades ninth thru twelfth.

The integration of technology in the core areas will also provide additional skill building activities for students so that they will be prepared for the mandatory state test required for graduation. Background Observation of the existing technology made over the last five years.
