World Languages
The World Languages Department at Forest Park High School is committed to providing our students with an understanding of the diversity through the study of the many languages we offer here at FPHS. As we live in an increasingly multi-cultural world, we do our best to provide an environment where students can develop respect for themselves and for others through an understanding of cultures throughout the world.
