Curriculum
The Headmaster and main teacher is Jeff Wagner. He teaches most subjects other than Science and Math; Government, Art, American History, Geography, and English's 1, 2, 3, and 4 are examples of the core classes he teaches. In addition to these main subjects, Jeff (and any other current teachers) teaches one or two different Elective classes according to what a majority of the students are interested in learning.
Math and science courses are currently organized through Delta Cyber School, as the school has had trouble finding a teacher in those courses willing to work for less than they would be paid in a public school.
Extracurricular activities
Though not an elective or choice, per se, Frontier High School owns and operates a small newspaper known as Top Class Printing and Publishing. The students operate all aspects of the business, including printing the paper and talking to customers. Prior to 2009, the students also conducted the lay-out of the paper and then printed it - but with the acquisition of Polar Run Printing, the employees of that company now conduct that portion of the paper. The students, however, remain the ones who fold and 'stuff' the papers, in a process that involves folding each paper individually and then inserting any extra pages that may have resulted from a busy week.
