Fraser Public Schools has made an exceptional effort in drug prevention and awareness, increasingly recent in light of reported heroin usage in Detroit. The school is the first in Macomb County to create an anonymous 24-hour telephone hot line. The number was created for students to help anyone they know struggling with drinking or drug addiction. All calls are completely confidential in a strive to help rather than punish people.[5]
Fraser High School is unique in Macomb County in providing block scheduling for students. This allows students to take 7 courses and provides a Seminar (or AC style) class. Seminar gives students the opportunity to work with teachers, receive extra help, and utilize technology all in an effort to provide the best possible education for students. Technology is strongly integrated throughout Fraser High School, for example Promethean Boards (interactive whiteboards) in all classrooms. The high school is also piloting a hybrid-program offering students more options and better preparation for college.
