The racial makeup of the school was 68.88% White, 30.44% African American, and 0.68% Hispanic.[1] 39.3% of the school's students were eligible to receive free lunch.[2] The Aggies excel in various sports, especially football in recent years. Under the leadership of Head Coach Larry Dolan, the Aggies have reached the playoffs in each of the last nine seasons,(2005-2013) including four trips to the third round of the 4-A state playoffs. In 2006, the Aggies went undefeated in the regular season, losing to Terry in the third round, and completing the season with a 12–1 record. Among the final eight teams remaining in those 2006 4A state playoffs, F.C.A.H.S. is the only school to maintain its 4-A classification upon Mississippi's shift to a 6-A class system. The other seven teams now hold a 5-A or 6-A classification. As of 2012, the Aggies produced their first "straight from high school" Division 1-A prospect in Adarius Perkins, who signed with Mississippi State University in February of that year. In the 2013 season, the Aggies reached the South State Championship for the first time, defeating Quitman at home. Following South State, the Aggies overcame the Lafayette Commodores to become the 2013 4-A State Champions. Shortly after the season ended, Forrest County had three signees on February 5th. The most notable among these signees was Dontavian Lee, who signed a scholarship to play Running Back at Mississippi State University.
