Farmington High School is a public high school located in Farmington, Michigan. The school was established in 1888, and the first sections of the current building were built in 1953, with several renovations and additions occurring since then. As of the 2022–2023 school year, the school educates a student body of 1,400. The principal is Chris Meussner.[2]

Farmington High School traces its roots back over 125 years. While no date has been fully confirmed, 1888 has been accepted as the year the school was first established. The school is listed as being first accredited in 1920 by the University of Michigan.[3] First known as the Union School, the class sizes have grown steadily over the years, from the single digits during the 19th century, to over one thousand students in recent years.[4] The first bus operated by the schools in the area began running with service to Farmington in 1929.[5]

The building itself has changed significantly over the years. One of the earlier buildings, initially constructed in 1918, was used until 1952. In 1953, sections of the current building were first constructed. Additions over the years, including a major renovation in 1998, have increased available space and amenities.

The school mascot is the Falcon, and students commonly referring to the mascot as "Freddie the Falcon."

The hockey team won the state championship in the 2013 / 2014 Season.[6]
