The Junior Class of FACP said goodbye to Mr. Jim White as he leaves to take over the principal-ship of FAEP. The two groups of eleventh graders often combined for advanced learning projects, merging American history with Ms. Carolyn Smith’s American literature in something Mr. White dubbed a few years ago “hislish.”
The National Honor Society cleaned Ashler Hills Drive and all around campus for the last time this school year.
Foothills Academy’s very own Fifth Hour Band performed at the Assembly last Friday. Fifth Hour Band is just one of several electives offered at Foothills Academy College Prep.
A great Sports Awards Assembly to end a year of excitement in our competitive athletics program. We celebrated record participation, some cool wins, many “nail-biting-edge-of-your-seaters” and two championships (middle school baseball winning East Division Championship and coming in second in the CAA playoffs). All season participants for the year received school letter with special “pin” awards going to MVPs, MIPs, and Coaches Choices. The finale was the introduction of the new Athletic Director, Drew Mayer. Moving the FA sports program ahead is his singular goal. The volleyball girls (and a crowd of boys who stayed after to meet Drew) were so impressed with how he and his seasoned coaches intend to take the program to the “next level.” Let’s keep the excitement; let’s add the winning. What if . . . ? Go Blackhawks!

Eleven Foothills Middle School students enjoyed a once in a lifetime educational trip to the Grand Canyon. The trip included a float trip down the Colorado River, rock climbing, bicycle riding in Sedona, fun at Slide Rock State Park, learning new things at the Lowell Observatory, a visit to Sunset Crater Volcano, and Wupatki National Monuments. We hiked the South Kaibag Trail and most importantly, we worked on team activities and really became good lifetime friends.
