Fairport High School has been designated as a Recognition School by the New York State Education Department for the 2019-20 school year.

Under New York’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Plan, Recognition Schools are those that have high academic achievement, student growth and graduation rate, and have made progress during the 2018-19 school year. As a 2019-20 Recognition School, FHS received a certificate of recognition from NYSED Interim Commissioner Shannon Tahoe.

Fairport High School is one of 212 high schools to achieve this designation. In total, 582 schools were honored. This year’s designees represent 13 percent of New York State public schools.

“I am extremely proud of everyone at Fairport High School for this recognition from the State Education Department,” said Superintendent Brett Provenzano. “It is a true reflection of the leadership, teachers, staff, community, and student body who all share a dedication to continual academic achievement and growth. I extend my gratitude to Principal Bob Clark and his staff for supporting this culture of excellence.”

Congratulations to all at Fairport High School!
