FAQ

What is Frank Spragins High School?

Frank Spragins is a flexible learning hub for high school students. We serve both full-time Outreach students and Dual-Enrolled students from other schools, providing personalized options to ensure everyone can succeed.

Who can attend Frank Spragins?

We welcome Grade 10-12 students who need an alternative to a traditional school setting (Outreach) or wish to take specific courses not offered at their home school (Dual Enrollment). We also support graduated students who wish to upgrade courses.

Can I take any course I want as a dual-enrolled student?

Not exactly. The dual enrollment program is designed to fill gaps in your schedule. You can take courses that are not currently offered by your home school. This helps you graduate on time and explore new interests while staying enrolled at your school.

How does scheduling work?

Our hours are flexible. On-campus students can learn in small group settings during the day or evening. Off-campus students can communicate with teachers via email, phone, or Google Classroom and visit the school to pick up or drop off work. Dual-enrolled students typically complete work independently and access teacher support during scheduled evening hours.

Is there a cost?

No, there is no additional cost for eligible students enrolled in our school division.

How do I get started?

The first step is to talk to your school counselor. They can help you decide if our Outreach or Dual Enrollment program is the right choice for you and guide you through the application process.

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
