Forsyth High School, or FHS, is a small rural high school located in Forsyth, Missouri,[3] with an enrollment of about 411 students for the 2015-2016 school year.
Academics
[edit]In 2005 the FHS FFA Forestry team took first place in the nation. In 2020 the FHS Forestry team took second place in the nation, with four members finishing individually in the top 20 and Nathaniel Guy finishing 2nd place individually.[citation needed] In 2021, the FFA group won best team at the 2021 National Forestry competition in Indianapolis.[4]
In April 2007 the FHS Math Team ("Mathletes") took first place in the state for their division.[citation needed]
The FHS class of 2007 holds the distinction of having the most valedictorians in one year, 6 students.[citation needed]
FHS participates in the dual enrollment program through Missouri State University and Ozarks Technical Community College. Dual enrollment classes earn students high school and college credit simultaneously. This program takes the place of other widely known programs such as International Baccalaureate and complements the Advanced Placement courses.

Forsyth has a deep tradition in athletics and has visited the final four multiple times in Boys Basketball and Baseball in 2000. The school is a part of the Mid Lakes Conference and is a perennial contender in all conference competitions.
