The Foothill PTSA, an all-volunteer membership organization made up of parents, students and Foothill educators, works on behalf of the entire Foothill community to advocate for academic excellence and enrichment of the educational experience of our students.

The Foothill PTSA supports and enhances the educational experiences of Foothill's students by:

  • Providing an organization through which the parents, school, and teacher can work cooperatively
  • Supporting the academic needs of the students
  • Encouraging school unity through parent, teacher and student participation
  • Supporting effective, school-wide communications
  • Providing financial support for programs not funded by the annual school budget

You can help by becoming a member of the PTSA and by making a donation to our Foothill Enrichment Fund. Throughout the year, we hope to provide more than $60,000 to Foothill, supporting vital services for every student. However, our reach extends far beyond the classroom.
