Celebrating FPD’s International Students

FPD’s International Program continues to enrich our campus by bringing together students from around the world. As we begin a new school year, we are excited to welcome new faces to Viking Nation while also celebrating the accomplishments of our returning international students.

Welcoming Seven New Vikings

This year, FPD is excited to welcome seven new international students from China, Germany, and South Korea. Each student brings unique perspectives, traditions, and experiences that add to our school community and create opportunities for students to learn from one another.

Joining a new school is a big transition, but doing so in a new country takes an additional level of courage and independence. We are excited to walk alongside these students as they experience life at FPD, build friendships, grow academically, and become part of the Viking family.

Celebrating Academic Achievement

Along with welcoming our newest students, we are proud to recognize the outstanding academic achievements of our international students from the 2025–2026 school year. Several were honored during FPD’s annual Academic Assemblies for achievements ranging from AP recognition to National Honor Society induction and perfect attendance.
