History

The original Fort Frances High School was located in downtown Fort Frances in what is now the Fort Frances Museum. A much larger high school was built on Second Street E. For a time, Fort Frances had two high schools: one for students in grade 9 (Westfort High) and the other for students in grades 10-13 (Fort Frances High School). The high school on Second Street was closed in 1999, with all students moving to a renovated Westfort High, then renamed to Fort Frances High School. The old high school has since been renovated and turned into local heath services and businesses.

In 2016, Fort Frances High School was opened to students in grades 7-8, known as "Fort Frances High School Intermediates." The students were moved from the adjacent elementary schools, JW Walker and Robert Moore, to alleviate overcrowding there and to boost attendance at FFHS.
