Fort Frances High School


Fort Frances High School is the only high school serving Fort Frances, Ontario. The school is administered by the Rainy [River District School Board] and serves roughly 475 students.

History

The original Fort Frances High School was located in downtown Fort Frances in what is now the Fort Frances Museum. A much larger high school was built on Second Street E. For a time, Fort Frances had two high schools: one for students in grade 9 and the other for students in grades 10-13. The high school on Second Street was closed in 1999, with all students moving to a renovated Westfort High, then renamed to Fort Frances High School. The old high school has since been renovated and turned into local heath services and businesses.
In 2016, Fort Frances High School was opened to students in grades 7-8, known as "Fort Frances High School Intermediates." The students were moved from the adjacent elementary schools, JW Walker and Robert Moore, to alleviate overcrowding there and to boost attendance at FFHS.
