College & Career

If you have a 9th - 11th grade student, now is the time to be thinking about what classes they should take for next school year. You can view our scheduling information on the fhs.fcs.org -> Counseling & Academics -> Scheduling

Students should have watched the 26-27 FHS Scheduling Video during homeroom last week. If your student missed it, the video is available on the website for you to review together.

Please take time to look through the scheduling documents your student received in homeroom. The Course Selection Guide includes helpful descriptions of all available courses and graduation requirements.

Yellow course request forms are due to your student’s team secretary by Monday, March 9th. Extra copies of scheduling forms can be picked up in the main office. If your student would like to schedule a one-on-one meeting with their school counselor, please reach out to the appropriate team secretary using the contact information below:

Last names A–Go: sfranks@findlaycityschools.org
Last names Gr–O: lparsell@findlaycityschools.org
Last names P–Z: tline@findlaycityschools.org

Thank you for supporting your student(s) as they make thoughtful choices for next year’s classes!

Seniors - The FAFSA should be filled out by any U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen planning to attend a 2 or 4 year college, accredited trade, vocational, or technical school to access federal, state, and institutional aid. It is highly recommended to fill it out annually, even if you believe you will not qualify for aid.

There are countless resources available at the local, regional, and state levels to prepare people for careers. While youth are in middle and high school, they need to explore their career strengths and interests to find out what they do and do not like. Finding out early where their passions, strengths, interests, and abilities intersect results in less time loss and, hopefully, less money spent on preparing for their dream career.

The one-page documents below allow youth, parents, educators, and adults to take advantage of existing programs that build career awareness and skills. Use the links in each PDF to connect directly with the resources for more information.
