FRHS Theatre is proud to be a newly certified Career & Technical Education program!

In spring of 2022, FRHS's program was approved by the State of Colorado Department.  This will open up so many learning and funding opportunities for our students and our educators.  We are excited about this transition.  Please do not hesitate to ask questions!
