History

The idea for FHS came from Mr. Ferguson, then the Principal of Loveland High School, He realized that there was a need for many Loveland students to have an alternative choice. In particular, Ferguson was concerned about students with trouble at home, legal problems, or difficulty coping with a large school.

The school opened in 1972 as the Washington Alternative High School. In 1982, FHS was moved to its second location at 804 East Eisenhower. In January 2009, it moved to 1101 Hilltop Drive.

In 2020, the school district converted the Van Buren Elementary School into a new location for FHS
