I find Foster High School to be a safe place for both the students and staff. Foster high school is really diverse and that's one thing I love about going to foster.

At Foster, The students and admin are known for the diversity and inclusiveness. Personally I see this as a benefit to how the students learn annd even to interact. Yet I believe that there's a need for more usage of finance to effiently help the students with extra curricular.
