History
Faith Baptist School was started by Pastor Terry L. Booher in 1970. It began with just a kindergarten class and within 4 years had expanded through 12th grade.
In 2006 Pastor Terry Booher died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer and his son Greg Booher became the Pastor of Faith Baptist Church. After his resignation in 2012, Dr. Ron Hodge became the Pastor of Faith Baptist Church.[3]
Mr. Jeremy Tudino [1] is identified as the Principal and Mrs. Barbara Rennolds serves as assistant principal.
In 2008 Faith Baptist School (FBS) joined the FCAA conference for interscholastic athletic and fine arts competition. In the first year, the girls' volleyball team made it to the state finals, and the fine arts department won 28 major awards in the state competition for fine arts. In 2013 the boys' flag football team won the Christian Character award at the state tournament.[4]
The school's campus is located at 3607 Oleander Avenue in Fort Pierce and includes an elementary building, a High School building, school cafeteria, athletic facilities including a full size football and soccer field and regulation size basketball/volleyball gymnasium and a regulation outdoor basketball court. Effective in June of 2015 those facilities will be lost and the school will transition to a warehouse currently used as a print shop [5]
