The original school building, located in the downtown core of Fernie, was home to the school from 1908, until 1999. In 1999, a new school building was opened on a property adjacent to the Fernie Golf and Country Club. The original building sat abandoned for 8 years before being redeveloped into condominiums.

F.S.S is home to The Fernie Secondary School Robotics Club, which in March of 2010 travelled to [[Atlanta, Georgia]] to compete in the 2010 FTC.


F.S.S has one of the largest gymnasiums in the [[Regional District of East Kootenay|East Kootenays]], and now has its own Disc Golf Course available for public use.
The team's name is the Fernie Robotic Falcons (after the school mascot) and included eight members in the 2009/2010 season Christopher Atherton, John Iddon, Colin Li, Alex Butala, Cole Goodman, William Butala, Ashleigh Butala, and Darby Gravelle. They had one teacher mentor Mr. William Bell.

F.S.S has one of the largest gymnasiums in the East Kootenays making it a requested gym to compete in as there is a lot of room to serve a volleyball.
As of 2024, there have been multiple cases of the building deteriorating. The first issue came with a pipe exploding, causing the closure of the office, technology room, APEX room, computer lab, staff room, and a meeting room. As of 5/6/24, repairs are being made with the hope to have it finished before the 2024-25 school year.
