A Former Student:
As a Film/Media major I can fully appreciate just how phenomenal the program at Fairhaven High School is. As a college freshman, I came in with more experience and skills than most of the senior students. Talking with other grads of the FHS Media Program, we all agree that most college programs cannot even compare to Fairhaven High’s.
I found my passion at Fairhaven High School. I owe my entire career to Mr. Furtado and Fairhaven High’s Media Program.
