First, there are many diverse types of clubs and organizations. Students can get involved in activities such as Model UN or Debate to improve their speaking abilities. There are also clubs that recognize sexual orientation such as Gay-Straight Alliance. Political clubs also exist such as Young Republicans or Young Democrats. There are also many community service opportunities through Interact- a club run by students to help the community. Of course, there are the sports that is cemented in high school spirit and pride. This is the easiest way to meet new people and make life long friends. Finally, student government is a popular club. Students who feel that they can give insight to administrators join this club to make a difference in the school and to improve any aspects that could be better. Go Indians!

There is a lot that I feel like can change about my high school, but the most prominent change is changing from having every class everyday, to having a block schedule. Block schedules allow for longer periods of classes that allow students and teachers alike to utilize their time in the classroom more efficiently, and it prepares students for college as classes are not everyday in college and are for significantly longer periods of time than in my high school. To add on, I feel like your rank in my high school is solely dependent on how you perform in certain classes. It is clear that certain classes in my school have more funding and way better developed compared to other classes. For example, electives have no funding whatsoever whereas classes like math and science ge new technology everyday.
Great music program! I was very prepared to enter college after graduating from FHS. The school offers an amazing number of clubs/activities and sports. Excellent teachers. Very pleased with my overall experience.
