Principal's Message

Dear Lynwood Community,

It is with great pride that I write this letter to you as the Principal of Marco Antonio Firebaugh High School. I feel privileged to lead a school rich in culture and academic excellence. We pride ourselves in being part of the few publicly funded International Baccalaureate (IB) programs in South Los Angeles. In addition, we offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses through the College Board, allowing students to maximize college credit with the completion of successful exam scores. We have also expanded our exceptional teaching practices to include programs like Career Technical Educational (CTE), Project Lead the Way (PLTW), AVID, visual and performing arts programs, athletics, dual enrollment opportunities, and various clubs and activities. 

Firebaugh High School provides a rigorous and supportive educational program taught by an enthusiastic, highly qualified, and dedicated staff. Our teachers and support staff understand the importance of cultivating a culture of caring. We foster a connection to the school through positive relationships and a strong sense of community. That is why our after-school tutoring programs, Edu-care and The Movement, offer students learning resources and support. Our school is committed to empowering students to embrace their culture and become future leaders.
 
To maximize our student's achievements while at FHS, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships with our parents and community members. As educational partners, we ask students to attend school daily, make the most of their educational opportunities, engage in activities that feed their interests, act appropriately and speak with their teachers, counselors, and/or administrators when they have questions or concerns.
 
We ask students, staff, and community members to follow the Falcon Way - with "Pride and Ownership."
 
We are Falcon strong! We SOAR!

Mr. Larry Reed
Principal
