What is the Fire Science Academy?

The mission of the Fire Science career pathway is to provide coherent and rigorous content to prepare students for a rewarding future in firefighting. Throughout high school, students will learn through classroom and work-based learning experience about fire vehicles, apparatus and equipment, fire behavior, fire streams, fundamentals of extinguishment, ventilation, rescue, water supplies, medical techniques, and more. If you're ready to build the foundation for your career in this important public service industry, apply for the Fire Science magnet program at Fivay High School and get a jump start on your future!

How can I become part of the Fire Science Academy?

All students interested must apply to attend FHS's Fire Science Academy utilizing the Pasco Pathways School Choice Application. Specific criteria will be outlined in the Pasco Pathways School Choice application for each program. Preferences established in the Controlled Open Enrollment Plan will be followed when the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of seats open. Students residing in district will be given preference, followed by students outside the district. Applicants are randomized and seats are filled by the number of open opportunities designated during the seat setting process. Students not placed during the lottery process will be placed on a randomized waitlist.

To explore transportation and hub stops options for magnet programs, please visit the Transportation Department’s Magnet Transportation webpage.

Prior to applying for school choice, you must have a Parent Portal account set up in our student information system (myStudent). Please visit Enrollment Services for additional information.
