Welcome to the Fulton Science Academy High School Program!

In high school, students have the option of choosing either honors or AP classes. Our college counselor works closely with students to build their four-year plans and implement them successfully. We have built a 40 minute college and career planning period into our daily schedule to include weekly speakers from colleges or businesses, extra writing classes, literacy enrichment classes, college guidance, AP support, and SAT prep. All juniors are assigned a mentor from their identified field of interest to share their expertise and to help students with their portfolios. We also have annual S.T.E.A.M. career day every December to introduce many S.T.E.A.M. fields.
