The school serves the communities of Flowery Branch, Buford, and part of Braselton. In 2007, Flowery Branch was voted Georgia's High School of Excellence. It is one of seven high schools in the district and enrolls about 1,600 students.
A previous school named Flowery Branch High School burned down in 1943. Afterwards, students continued their education at neighboring schools. Many years later in 2002, Hall County Schools added two new high schools, a new Flowery Branch High School and Chestatee High School in the northern part of the county. FBHS was opened on Hog Mountain Road to relieve neighboring Johnson High School and West Hall High School.
Hall County experienced a 29% growth rate over the period of 2000 to 2010. The Flowery Branch High School had a 44.58% growth rate over this same time.
In 2012, Flowery Branch High School received a charter from the Georgia Department of Education, which allowed for a Global Studies and Leadership Academy. The school dissolved the charter and began a STEAM program of choice in 2017.
The Flowery Branch High School band program is presently under the direction of Dennis L. Naughton. The program has received superior ratings in festival for many years running. The program has four bands at varying performance levels.
Flowery Branch is a member of the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) in Class AAAAA Region 8.
The Flowery Branch Falcons football team has developed into state contenders.
