An exceptional Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps Program (JROTC), centering on leadership and communication skills, helping students to become better citizens of the United States has been designated an honor unit with distinction for decades. More than 34% of the students at FKHS take JROTC. 

The high school operates on a block schedule with eight classes over a two-day period. Students take part in a program called “Encore” in which blocks of time are devoted to goal setting, co-curricular activities, and mastery learning opportunities. 

Athletic programs are competitive, with wrestling, weight lifting, cross-country, and track state championship awards highlighting an extensive trophy case.
