North Stafford High – Electricity III

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course expands on Electricity I and II. Qualified students have the opportunity to work on the construction of a new home through the Bringing Occupational Opportunities to Students (BOOTS) program. OSHA and class safety practices are mandatory and enforced. Stafford Schools offers a High School Firefighter program (HSFP) through a partnership with Stafford County Fire and Rescue. Firefighting is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world and, therefore, requires complete discipline and attention to achieving the academic and professional standards necessary to successfully fight live fires, address hazardous-materials incidents, and conduct search-and-rescue operations. This course challenges students academically, mentally, and physically and meets the standards of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001-2013 leading to Firefighting I certification. Students must enroll in FFI (Semester I) and FFII (Semester II) consecutively in the same year. Firefighting will be offered every other day. Counselors must verify students have a plan to meet required credits necessary for graduation before they are eligible to participate in the program. The program is application based and includes stringent requirements by Stafford Fire and Rescue and NFPA. The program is contingent on the availability of funding/staffing.
