Falcon High School
Falcon High School, in the Falcon Zone, was founded in 1900 and is the oldest high school in District 49. During the 2007 school year, students and staff moved into a new, eco-friendly, technologically enhanced building at 10255 Lambert Road in Peyton. The current enrollment includes more than 1,100 students.
Academics
Falcon High School is dedicated to the professional learning community model for high achievement for all students. It offers 20 Advanced Placement and Concurrent Enrollment classes to challenge students. Faculty members are committed to their response-to-intervention process. To that end, afterschool tutoring is available, as well as co-teaching in Math, Social Studies, Science and English. The Special Education and resource programs are inclusive by nature, while mild to severe needs programs are center-based.
The school hosts two career academies: the Academy of Health Sciences and the Academy of Biotechnology. The school recently added an Automotive Shop space designed to give students a hands-on, real-world experience in automotive technology. In addition, FHS offers a strong Space Force JROTC program (One of only ten Space Force JROTC programs in the Nation!) for those possibly considering a military career.

You can learn more about our history, traditions, and our vision for modern personalized learning here below.
While the Falcon Zone greatly honors tradition, we also embrace that our students today deserve a different learning experience from yesteryear - one that will prepare them to be successful in our ever-changing world.
Through Empower Falcon Zone (Empower FZ), we aim to
empower our learners by offering three main things:
