FHS is located in the northwest corner of Washington State, only 15 miles south of the Canadian border (see Google Map below). Our high school is the largest in the county at over 1,500 students. We have a wonderfully diverse population fed by new immigrants from all over Asia and Europe, long time area residents, migrant families, and the culturally rich Lummi Nation. Ferndale is growing rapidly with over 11,000 residents, as is most of Whatcom County (over 175,000 residents).
