Governor Wallace Rider Farrington High School is a public grades 9–12 high school located in the Kalihi district of Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, United States.
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 a community of mostly lower socio-economic families and a smaller number of middle-class families.
FHS is the home of the Governors and is part of the Hawaii State Department of Education.
During World War II, the U.S. Army used the school as a hospital.
During November 2012, FHS auditorium roof collapsed due to heavy rain. A technician doing a sound check in the auditorium was safe from harm due to his location in the stage.[2]
Farrington High School was honored as a 2017 Model School by the International Center for Leadership in Education.[3]
