FHS Registration Fair

Photo feature: Fridley High School (FHS) students had the chance to chat with staff members and learn about course offerings at the Registration Fair held during their lunch hour on February 7, 2019. FHS offers a broad selection of classes and electives for students to choose from. As an International Baccalaureate World School, all 9th and 10th grade students participate in the Middle Years Programme. The school also follows an "IB for All" model, which means all 11th and 12th grade students take part in at least three Diploma Programme classes. In addition, students have access to the Career-related Programme, which focuses on healthcare and IT career pathways. These rigorous pathways prepare all Fridley students for college and careers! Pictured are students (from l to r): Hannah Etheridge, Jordan Loftus, Willem Mohn and Emily Hill.
