Foothill High School was a very interesting high school experience for me. I enjoyed some of it sometimes but most of the times when it came to teaching material or general items we should've had given to us, it wasn't the greatest.

Could not have had a better 4 years than I did at Foothill. I made life long friends, played the sports I love and coaches that support me. My teachers always fueled my dreams and were there when I needed them. Thank you Foothill for my 4 years

All I have to say is that Foothill is a classic over crowded, underfunded public high school. I would love to see the bathrooms cleaned up because of right now half of them are broken and a lot of the times they are closed during school hours.
