About Fort High School

Mission Statement

It is Fort Hill High School’s mission to provide a safe, nurturing environment that develops responsibility, personal integrity, self-respect, and respect for others. Our mission is also to provide each student with an academically challenging program that enhances creativity and inspires them to achieve individual excellence and success in a rapidly changing world.
Overview

Fort Hill High School was constructed primarily as a result of Public Works Administration funding, a New Deal Program of the Franklin Roosevelt administration. The Great Depression of the 1930's created a national unemployment rate of 25%, initiating wide spread economic distress and dislocations. New Deal legislation's caused a variety of federal programs and agencies to be formed intending to reduce unemployment in ways that would directly benefit local communities. Two of those New Deal programs were the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration. Locally, Constitution Park, Greenway Avenue Stadium, and a variety of other smaller projects fell under the jurisdiction of the WPA while larger public buildings, like Fort Hill High School, came under the authority of PWA guidelines.
