Principal's Message
Welcome to Foothill Technology High School! I am privileged to join the Dragons this year, and I’m delighted that you are interested in our school.
This year, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary! Throughout these years, our dedicated teachers, counselors, staff, and administrators have worked to create a supportive and rigorous environment that empowers students to realize their academic and career aspirations. As a community of critical thinkers, we strive to be effective communicators and responsible global citizens.
At Foothill, students are enrolled through a random and unbiased lottery process. Our mission is to provide a rigorous college and career preparatory experience by offering a safe and supportive school environment, utilizing current technology to enhance learning, and providing unique career pathways and academic options tailored to meet our students' goals.
The small size of our student body allows for meaningful relationships between staff and students to be fostered. Our active Associated Student Body (ASB) organizes numerous student-centered activities to promote a sense of community and connectedness. This year, we are proud to have received recognition as a Platinum Tier School of Distinction through our Renaissance program, which honors students for their high academic achievement, growth, and improvement!
Students at Foothill can engage in high-quality pathways in Production Innovation & Design (DTech), Bioscience, Software and Systems Development (Code.sign), and Design, Visual and Media Arts (Grafx). Additionally, we offer an Advanced Placement (AP) program, a nationally recognized Journalism program, AVID, and the opportunity to earn college credits through our dual enrollment Advanced Studies Academy (ASA).
Being an involved parent at the high school level may look different than in elementary or middle school. Your students are more independent, but your involvement is still crucial! I encourage you to actively participate in our Parent Faculty Student Organization (PFSO) and our Boosters organization, which provide valuable support for classroom projects that enrich the student experience. If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out to me or any of our staffulty!
Thank you for being part of the Foothill community. Welcome to the Dragon’s Lair! I look forward to a wonderful year ahead!
Warm regards,
Courtney Johnson
