An alternative high school educational experience offered by Faribault Public Schools. The FALC-HS is a personalized alternative high school program designed to meet the needs of students who for a variety of reasons are not successful in the traditional school setting. It was created in 1975 to meet the needs of a changing student population. There are no excused absences.
Absences are to be made up.
All students enrolled full time are either employed a minimum of fourteen hours per week, or spend an equal number of hours seeking work. On a weekly basis a full time student is in school a minimum of sixteen hours and is employed at a work site a minimum of fourteen hours. Upon completion of 20 credits, students receive a Faribault High School diploma. Class sizes are kept small in order to allow the student to receive a more individualized educational program. Full time students earn thirty hours of credit per quarter in each class.
