In 2002, Hall County Schools added two new high schools, a new Flowery Branch High School and Chestatee High School in the northern part of the county. FBHS was opened on Hog Mountain Road to relieve neighboring Johnson High School and West Hall High School. The school serves the communities of Flowery Branch, Buford, and part of Braselton.

In 2007, Flowery Branch was voted Georgia's High School of Excellence. Since then, this area on the southern end of Hall County has experienced rapid growth. Thus, an even newer facility was built in 2009 on Spout Springs Road. The facility became Flowery Branch High School. It was at that time one of seven high schools in the district and enrolled about 1,700 students.

In 2018, with rapid growth continuing, the Flowery Branch High School facility was renovated and became a "transition school" serving middle and high school students. Thus, Cherokee Bluff High School became the 8th high school in Hall County.

Flowery Branch High School then returned to it's original location and it's true HOME OF THE FALCONS! It is an exciting time for the Falcon Family and we are thrilled to be here! With a supportive community and the same hometown feel, the Falcons will RISE!

Mission: To establish and foster a voluntary cooperative relationship between the school and industry through their mutual adoption of one another and to support and enrich the existence of both.

The program helps to bridge the gap between the community and its schools for the mutual benefit of students and the residents of Gainesville-Hall County. Business partners engaged in the program will gain firsthand experience along with many benefits the program offers. Successful collaboration and cultivated relationships will afford both partners many rewards and satisfaction if the right components are in place.

If you have a friend or a business that is looking for a avenue to get involved at FBHS and you would like for a member to reach out to them, please send their contact information to Christy.carter@hallco.org.
