The Claremont Courier marked Foothill's 70th year with front page coverage in a special edition of the Claremont Courier called ABCs to PhDs, a fitting moniker for our school, and for the wider Claremont community. We are proud to be a part of a community that values education from the preschool level extending to the Claremont Colleges. Read the special section and enjoy the photos of our students in action.

500 Students and Faculty Create Aerial Art for the Sky
In celebration of the school's 70th Anniversary, hosted artist Daniel Dancer who led students and faculty in a three day adventure. The goal was a large-scale, collaborative art project that brought the entire school community together in a breathtaking display of creativity, unity and environmental awareness. Art for the SKy emphasized the need to for collective creativity and the 30,000 foot view needed for the next generation of society's leaders. Using their "sky sight", our students recognized that they are a small but crucial piece of a bigger picture (in this case, a falcon). You can watch a video about how we did this project on our FCDSFalcons Youtube Channel here: https://youtu.be/S--9gcEikLM

"Ten Schools" Visit Foothill
Representatives of the Ten Schools Admission Organization visited our campus this week. "Ten Schools" is a consortium of the top 10 boarding schools in the country. Admissions representatives spoke to our students about life at a boarding school, the admission process for private independent high schools and what they are looking for in their applicants. These professionals travel the world (literally) looking for the best students, and Foothill impressed them, even as they remembered our alumni that are currently attending their schools. They said they have "never seen students stand up and say their name and grade confidently, and ask such thoughtful questions." These are skills that Foothill teaches starting in kindergarten so we aren't surprised!
