Forney High School is a public secondary school in Forney, Texas, United States that houses grades 9 through 12. It is a part of Forney Independent School District and serves Forney, Talty, the small Kaufman County portion of Mesquite, and some surrounding unincorporated areas of Kaufman County.

The school has several award-winning organizations including: Track and Field, Powerlifting, Football, Drill Team, UIL Academics, Special Olympics Team, Band, and Choir.

City Bank Stadium is one of the few high school football stadiums in the country with privately-owned naming rights. FHS varsity football, soccer, and track compete in the stadium. FHS competes in UIL Class AAAA. The school mascot is the Jackrabbit.

All of Forney ISD's 9 elementary and 2 middle schools feed into Forney High School. A second high school was recently approved to handle the large growth the town had experienced.

[edit] School uniforms

All Forney ISD students are normally required to wear school uniforms.[1]

The Texas Education Agency specified that the parental guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt-out of the uniform policy.[2] Parents must provide legitimate reasons that are usually religious or philosophical in nature.

Forney High School has opt-out days during special occasions when the students are allowed to wear something other than the mandatory school uniform.
