We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Out of my 4 years at Big Foot High School, I've had almost all positive experiences. Like with all schools there will be students and teachers you disagree with but most of us are open-minded. The teachers are always ready to help with anything. They have helped me through so many tough times with school and personal issues. They truly make the school feel like a home and the friendships I have made will last a life time.

All 3 of my sons attended BFHS. The last one would have graduated in 2003. Each of them has gone on to become a leader in his chosen career. During their years at Big Foot, teachers worked with the boys to help each find his individual goal. What I like particularly about Big Foot is, it is not stee...
