Forest Heights Collegiate Institute is a high school located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The school is often colloquially referred to as "Forest" by the students and other Kitchener locals. It was named after the neighbourhood of Kitchener in which it is located. However, interestingly enough, Forest Heights actually draws many of its students from the other adjacent neighbourhood, Forest Hill. A common abbreviation is also F.H.C.I.

Locally, Forest Heights is known for its annual variety show called Journey, which traditionally features music, dance, and dramatic sketch components. Journey has been produced annually at Forest Heights, jointly by staff and students, almost since the school's inception. This year marks Journey 38; each year's show features a specific theme which guides the song choices for both the musical and dance components. Lately the show has been marred by staff reluctance to sponsor it. Thus it is annually threatened with extinction but it was saved by a late volunteer yet again this year.
