Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School

What Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School does

Forbes Road School District (also operating as Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School and FRHS/FRSD) is a rural K4-12 public school district and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, headquartered at 159 Red Bird Drive, Waterfall, PA 16689. The district serves approximately 375 students in grades K4-12 across northern Fulton County in southwestern Pennsylvania, with an average graduating class size of 25. Following a 2005 consolidation that joined the 7-12 high school building with the elementary building, the entire district now operates from a single facility. The leadership team comprises Superintendent Clint Heath, Assistant to the Superintendent Tammy Fraker, Business Manager Kristie Hohman, District Principal Ramonda Zinobile, Special Education Director Rebekah Rogers, and Athletic Director/PE Lead Heidi O'Neal, supported by counselors, secretaries, and other staff. Service offerings span core K-12 academics, breakfast and lunch food services, the Cardinal Athletics program, and student/parent digital resource portals. The district also maintains articulation agreements with FCCCTC (Fulton County Career & Technology Center) to extend career-technical education pathways.

The district's technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS platforms: PowerSchool for student information, grades, and attendance; SchoolCafe for meal account management; Clever for single sign-on; SchoolBlocks and SchoolFeed for website, content management, and social/news distribution; and Google Forms for parent-facing administrative forms such as absence submissions. No proprietary technology is developed in-house. The website is FERPA-compliant and provides digital handbooks, transcript request workflows, discipline rubrics, flexible instruction day guidelines, and parent resources including FERPA rights notices and volunteer clearance forms.

As a government entity, Forbes Road School District is not a commercially operated business. It is funded through local property taxes, Pennsylvania state education subsidies, and federal education grants, with no tuition, commercial pricing, or subscription fees charged to enrolled families. The customer base is the resident families of northern Fulton County, served exclusively through direct enrollment within the district's attendance boundaries. Distribution and enrollment are managed through a traditional public school model with no commercial sales motion, marketing funnel beyond basic website and social media presence (Facebook, YouTube), or external customer acquisition effort.
