Farmington High rounds out students' educations with a variety of courses and co-curricular opportunities in music, visual arts, drama, technology education, culinary arts and writing. Because of our outstanding programs in choral music as well as band and orchestra, Farmington students regularly receive the most invitations to participate in regional and state music festivals. Faculty members are frequently recognized for their skill and dedication in state and regional award competitions. Through partnerships with parents and with community resources, Farmington High strives to help students develop into civic-minded adults and to explore the possibilities that await them. Our School to Career Program, for example, has forged mentor relationships between students and professionals in the fields of health and biosciences, manufacturing, communication and repair technologies.
Students learn and practice the fundamentals of self-governance through an active student council.
Students reach out to the community in many ways, serving as mentors for elementary school students and as tutors in the Hartford school system, as well as sponsoring fundraising activities for such organizations as the American Red Cross throughout the year. Top-notch athletic and extracurricular programs support the school's academic tradition. FHS received the Michael's Cup Award for the strongest Division L athletic program in the state in the 1998-99 school year.
