Foothill MSCommunity MemoMay 24th, 2025

Foothill Community,


As we enter the final weeks of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the support, energy, and heart you've brought to Foothill this year. It’s hard to believe how quickly the year has flown by!


These last few weeks are filled with celebration, reflection, and important milestones. I’m so proud of all our students have accomplished and deeply grateful for our dedicated staff and supportive families who make this community so special.


Let’s finish strong, Foothill!


Please see below for some important dates (including info on promotion!), some recent happenings around campus, as well as some fun summer resources.


With gratitude and pride,


Principal Stull
