Governor Wallace Rider Farrington High School is a public secondary school (grades 9-12) located in the Kalihi district of Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.
The school is named after the late Wallace Rider Farrington, the sixth governor of the Territory of Hawaiʻi, who served from 1921 to 1929.
Farrington is an urban high school that serves an ethnically diverse community of mostly lower socio-economic families and a smaller number of middle-class families. In the 2007-2008 school year, 55.6 percent of the students qualified for free or reduced-price school lunches.
FHS is the home of the Governors and is part of the Hawaii State Department of Education. In the 2007-2008 school year, 2,579 students attended Farrington, most of them of Filipino descent.
Farrington provides career pathways for its students through several integrated vocational programs, including a health academy that was nationally recognized for excellence. In addition, Farrington offers students opportunities to participate and excel in both visual and performing arts.
During World War II, the U.S. Army used the school as a hospital.
