GPA-Exempt Courses
FBISD allows juniors and seniors to participate in designated third- and fourth-year fine arts and athletics courses without impacting their GPA. Eligible courses include band, choir, theatre, debate, journalism, athletics, color guard, and more. Interested students must complete and submit a signed application—including student, parent, and teacher signatures—within the first two weeks of school. Once approved, the GPA exemption is final and remains in effect for full-year courses. Transfer students who miss the first-semester deadline may apply for the second semester if they meet all requirements
