Ford High School

Quinlan-Ford High School offers students up to 36 hours of free college credit to Paris Junior College in Greenville while in high school including transportation, books, fees and tuition. In addition, FHS offers over 16 career pathways to students interested in career tech programs such as cosmetology, auto tech, engineering, robotics, buisiness, finance, photography, video production and more. The atmosphere celebrates student involvement and state-level competitions in academics, athletics and extra-curriculars. A student leadership series is offered each six weeks at FHS, bringing in finance leaders like Dave Ramsey's daughter, anti-bullying messages, drug-free messages, humanitarianism efforts and much more. FHS offers The PRIDE Academy, an accelerated instructional program to students in a non-traditional, educational environment. The PRIDE Academy in its first year has seen tremendous success working with the struggling student and students returning for help to pass their TAKS to graduate. 83 2012 seniors will graduate with 876 hours of FREE college saving families thousands. The opportunities are here. Fine Arts programs are superior.

Seems more sports oriented than full academic. Sports are good for healthy bodies, but more focus on academics and creative or other electives needed. Discipline in electives is lacking as well. Several plays were previously canceled because of poor student attendance to meetings after having signed up.

Good School with Great teachers!
