I loved my 4 years here and now that I am in college I do miss a lot of things about my 7 it just felt like a home and very welcoming.

Fred T Foard is an excellent school with lots of resources and very thoughtful teachers. I am involved in multiple clubs and have been given lots of opportunities.

I have had a pretty okay expirience with Fred T Foard High School, The teachers are good at doing there job but it seems like sometimes they care more about making sure assignments are turned in then actually making sure that we have learned the material. The students are fine but they do say offensive things and are sometimes out of control. I do really like Fred T Foard High School, my friends are there and most memories of my life have been made there.

I am proud to say that I attend Fred T. Foard High School. The faculty at the school go so far beyond just teachers, they are our mentors in life. As far as sports are concerned I know we do not have good teams. But never in my life would I stand at a football game in the pouring rain with 200 other...
