Welcome to Foothill High School, the home of the Cougars. We are looking forward to another exciting school year. 2009-2010 has a lot in store and you will find everything you need right here on our website.
Foothill High School is located approximately 12 miles east of Redding, California in the supportive community of Palo Cedro. FHS is proud of our accomplishment academically as we just hit the 820 mark on the STAR testing API (Academic Performance Index) after breaking the 800 mark last year with an 817. Congratulations to all of our staff and students on their hard work and effort in accomplishment this great achievement. For the fourth straight year Foothill is the #1 scoring large high school in the north state!
We also boast a great athletic program in which we have had several teams win or play for section titles over the past several years. Our students participate in over twenty sports teams. In addition to our fine academic and athletic success we have many opportunities for students to get involved in school activities. Foothill High School has one of the top music programs around with an outstanding band and jazz band and our drama and music departments team up to produce the annual Club Cougar in the second half of the school year. We also have an outstanding Agriculture Department that competes at the county and state levels along with many other activities and clubs. You will find all of that and much more right here at our fantastic web site!
Please peruse our website to read about many other activities, clubs, sports, or academic areas. You will find teacher’s email addresses, our school calendar, bulletin announcements, and of course, some special videos. As the principal I would like to invite you to call or visit our campus to get a closer look into what Foothill High School is all about.
Sincerely,
Jim Bartow
