FISD to Offer Hybrid and Online High School Classes

Frisco ISD is excited to unveil plans for FISD+, a program that beginning with the 2022-23 school year will allow high school students the opportunity to earn high school credit online. FISD+ will offer students the option of full-time online learning or a hybrid model, both of which were developed to meet the growing needs of students and families. FISD+ will provide high school students the flexibility to learn at home with an FISD educator and curriculum in an online environment that exceeds the Texas Education Agency standards.
