The current FHS building suffers from numerous deficiencies including:
- Non-compliance with ADA standards, with the building containing spaces and entire sections that are completely inaccessible to those with mobility limitations
- A rapidly deteriorating and leaky roof
- Insufficient classroom, media center, and cafeteria space
- Reliance on old and and failing heating, electrical, and plumbing systems
- Vast security challenges throughout the winding complex that includes 23 separate points of entry, only a handful of which can be monitored
- A sprawling, inefficient layout that presents numerous obstacles, including the inability of students changing classes on opposite sides of the building to get to class on time
As a result of these deficiencies, FHS is now on the watch-list for losing NEASC accreditation (a globally recognized standard of excellence, NEASC Accreditation attests to a school’s high quality and integrity)
