Science 8 focuses on the study of physical and chemical science from a biblical world view. Labs are a large part of this class as we study the importance of precise measurements while studying matter, matter in motion, energy at work, electricity and magnetism. In chemical science we will study types of substances and interactions of matter with a sharp focus on the periodic table, electron orbits, and bonding of atoms and balancing chemical reactions.

We offer Art I, II, and III (AP art). These courses move from foundational concepts of art, such as color theory, composition, and introduction of new mediums, to more advanced techniques and projects. Art II challenges the artist to not just create art, but to tell a story, evoke emotion and to get the viewer involved. Finally, we offer AP Art as an independent study course for those who show exceptional ability and interest. Students work in connection with the art teacher to build a portfolio, which fulfills the specific requirements that must be met for submission to the Advanced Placement College Board.

No matter who you are or what your journey has been, we all have deep questions about God. How we answer these questions impact almost every decision we make. It is impossible to separate everyday life from your worldview. Now, imagine being in an environment where you can safely ask questions and develop your worldview before graduating high school. Through this class we will journey together to solidify what you believe about God, the nature of man, Christ, and salvation. We will explore big truths and discuss the different ways they have been understood historically. The aim of the class is to take this “potentially dry material” and make it exciting by creating a relational environment that centers on having helpful discussions and healthy debates. The goal is to lead you to build a solid foundation of what you believe and help you own your faith.

This course is primarily a study of the engineering design process. Students will use research, teamwork, and critical thinking skills to create solutions to engineering problems. Students will learn engineering standards and terminology as well as technical documentation as they develop an understanding of the design process. Specific skills they will learn over the course of the year include: sketching, measuring and modeling, statistical analysis, presentation delivery, and reverse engineering. The second half of the year is dedicated to learning and using 3-D modeling software (Autodesk Inventor) to create design solutions. This class can be taken for credit at the Oregon Institute of Technology (2 credit hours).
Principles of Engineering (PoE) is designed to allow students to experience a broad range of engineering topics while exploring specific engineering careers and preparing for college engineering courses. Students will use activities and projects to develop skills in problem solving, research, and design while learning strategies for design process documentation, collaboration, and presentation. Specific topics include mechanisms, strength of structures and materials, and automation. Students will end the year with a team robotics project.
Main Objectives of this course: This is an elective course designed to introduce students to the world of psychology (the scientific study of the human mind and behavior) and its basic schools of thought, while incorporating a biblical worldview. The class is also designed to give students a better understanding of their own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and development as well as that of others.
Introduction to the fundamentals of programming with the Python programming language. Topics covered include basic data types, control structures, regular expressions, input/output, and textual analysis. Focus on creating simple programs and scripts.

Spanish III will emphasize all four aspects of language learning; reading, writing, speaking, listening, and understanding with a heavy emphasis on meaningful communication. This course is the equivalent of a first-year college course.
A recent survey reports that 75% of Americans have glossophobia, the fear of speaking in public. Thousands of people who thought they would never speak in public are doing just that today. They may not be in front of a huge auditorium speaking to thousands of people. Few of us ever do just that. But, they may be speaking to a Bible study group in their church, or teaching in a classroom, or leading training sessions at work. Public speaking is about speaking to big groups and small groups, at school, in church, at work, or in the community. Training in public speaking this semester will help you develop speaking skills, gain confidence, develop research and organization skills, and listen intelligently. Speech class is a performance-based course designed to help students improve their speaking. Students will have a variety of experiences to practice and receive feedback on their public speaking skills, to gain skill, confidence, and fluency in public speaking.
Focus of this course: This course is designed to provide an overview of the sport industry that introduces the student to the basic fundamental knowledge and skill sets required of the sport manager to solve sport business problems.
Main objectives of this course: Focus will also be placed on understanding career options in the sport industry and preparing for employment. Students will be trained in areas of coaching and officiating. The course also includes and introduction to sports marketing and communications and its role in society. The subject includes marketing through sport sponsorships, endorsements, naming rights, licensing, sports media and communications, marketing communications and management, and emerging issues in sports marketing.

The FBHS Student Council meets outside of school hours, but is still earns officers school credit. Our student council is responsible for planning and organizing school events, such as new student orientation, school dances, holiday parties, and the Great Race. In addition, they manage and run the school store and help at additional school events.
This course is designed to give students a hands-on opportunity to learn general woodworking practices. Students will expand their knowledge and experience through various projects, lessons, and vocabulary. Students will be expected to learn about and safely use hand tools, power tools, and woodworking machinery. The projects are designed to give students as much experience as possible by using many different techniques and tools. The projects will also cover as many aspects of the building and woodworking industries as is possible in an entry level course. A course fee of $100-150 is required to cover the cost of a personal set of tools that students will use during the year and keep after the course ends.

This course is designed for advanced math students who are planning to take Calculus the following year. You will learn to think critically as you combine concepts from Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry in order to solve complex problems. We will spend the majority of the first semester on the many different types of functions, their behavior, and their uses in modeling real world situations. Second semester starts with trigonometric functions and identities and ends with the application of exponential and logarithmic functions.
Prerequisite: Algebra 2
