FHHS is a Gates High Tech High School since it received a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through the Connecting Schools and Communities (CSAC) project in Washington State. The grant is to ensure that more students leave high school ready for college, work, and civic contribution.
The school's team for the National Ocean Sciences Bowl has had success winning the Washington regional title known as the Orca Bowl in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011. In 2004 they were second overall [1] in the national competition losing to Mission San Jose High School from Fremont, California. Their WASL (Washington Assessment of Student Learning) testing scores are consistently above the state's average. Students are now required to pass the WASL to graduate. Most students take the WASL in tenth grade, but it is an option to take it as a freshman.
