My son attends this school for three years now. He and I have loved it. The school understands that friends are an important thing to these teenagers and give them many outlets to hang out. The school has many teachers with over 15 years of experience. This is a great school. If you are going to send you child to a high school, make it this one!

The level of commitment presented by the staff coupled with an outstanding administration has made me feel my student is cared about academically and as an individual.

My sons went to FWBHS and I was very happy with their educational experience. Dr. Tibbetts has really improved the appearance of the school, and the test scores have never been better. Great band program !!!!!

My son is a Senior and he has had a wonderful experience at FWBHS. The teachers have been involved and motivational. The Band program is excellent and the leaders have been very supportive. It has been a great experience.
