Naming confusion
When Wolfforth school district was unified with three other rural districts (Carlisle, Hurlwood and Foster) in 1935, they applied for the name "Friendship Independent School District". The application was rejected as the name was already taken by a Houston-area school district, thus officials opted for the name Frenship.[2]
Curriculum
In January 2007, the Frenship Independent School District and South Plains College jointly created the Frenship Early College High School which is now known as Frenship Collegiate Prep High School. The Frenship Collegiate Prep (FCP) program allows students 60 hours of college credit or an Associate degree while earning their high school diploma. In 2015, FISD had also created a new partnership with Angelo State University, enabling students to also earn college credit from there.[3]
