WELCOME TO THE DYNASTY
FHS Tiger Dynasty is more than robots!
Participation on the team provides important career and technical skills in business, computer aided design, assembly, electronics, programming and more. Our students leave the program with a leg up on their graduating peers. Many of our students earn scholarships and program placements based on the skills they’ve learned in the robotics program.
