Foothills Elementary School Home

Principal's Message

Foothills Elementary school has served its community for over 30 years. Generations of families have attended our school. We pride ourselves on having high expectations while creating long-lasting relationships with the families we serve. Currently, we have nearly 500 students in the first through fifth grades. We have an amazing staff that is dedicated to our students. Our teachers work collaboratively to ensure that each student gets what they need at their level. We have time in each school day where students receive additional time and support in the content that they need. Our support staff is committed to supporting students from the front office to the cafeteria and playground, as well as in the classrooms. We are truly lucky to have the wonderful staff we have.

Foothills is known for its strong PTA involvement. Historically, the PTA has been key in providing activities that bring this community together with the Harvest Fest, the Sock Hop, Family BBQs, and Carnivals. The past few years has had an impact on these activities, however, we are hoping to bring these events back this year.

Foothills is a wonderful place to grow and learn!
