Falmouth High School (FHS) is a public high school located in the town ofFalmouth, Massachusetts, United States. The school serves roughly 870 students in grades 9–12. Over the past few years, Falmouth High School has undergone major renovations. Up until 1973, the school was named Lawrence High School and located at what is nowLawrence Junior High School. Falmouth High School is located at 874 Gifford Street Ext. The school's mascot is the Clipper and the school colors are maroon and white.
The presence of a high school in the town of Falmouth dates back to the late 1800s and was originally known as Lawrence High School. However, the current Falmouth High School was only established in 1973. The name change was applied in order to more closely identify the high school with the town of Falmouth and disassociate fromLawrence High School inLawrence, Massachusetts.
Students from the neighboring town ofMashpee attended Falmouth High School for many years, until the town of Mashpee established their own separate high school in 1996.
In recent years, Falmouth has undergone several periods of major renovation, which ran into the dozens of millions of dollars. These renovations came under intense scrutiny at several points and were plagued by constant setbacks, which included poor construction and architecture, massively exceeding the proposed budget, exceeding the proposed completion date, and several breach-of-contract suits against the school committee, architects, contractors and firms involved. Initially, the project was supposed to cost $67 million and take two years to complete, but the project ended up costing $87 million, $20 million over budget, and took almost six years to complete.[3]
