When Forsyth County High School opened in 1955, it was the center of academia and preparatory athletics in the county. North Forsyth, South Forsyth and Pinecrest Academy came along before the turn of the century, but the recent additions of Lambert and West Forsyth have completed somewhat of a power shift from Cumming down to the developing areas of the county. Alumni from the original school also were perturbed when there was a push to align the school’s name with the directional articulation used by other schools, insisting the school be called Forsyth Central instead of Central Forsyth as a way to maintain the abbreviation FCHS. Central principal Mitch Young, formerly at West, plans to refocus the spotlight on the county’s grandfather school—and he plans to do it in style.
