We are home to the Health Careers Academy. FHPS students who participate in this program have the opportunity to earn at least 11 Ferris State University credits, pursue an AP Capstone Diploma, gain additional college credit through AP exams, and even obtain industry certifications like a CNA — all while building real-world experience through partnerships with local professionals. As an added bonus, students who choose to attend Ferris State University are automatically rewarded with a $1,000 scholarship.

Beyond the classroom, we provide exceptional opportunities for involvement and growth. Our 37 varsity athletic programs engage more than 700 students in competitive athletics each year. Our award-winning Fine Arts programs—including theater, band, choir, and orchestra- consistently earn state recognition and enrich our school culture with annual plays, musicals, and outstanding performances.

Our culture is built on the belief that Every Ranger is Known. We work intentionally to ensure every student feels seen, valued, and connected, creating a community where belonging drives engagement, achievement, and pride in being part of our Ranger family.
