This is the highly talented group of Foothills Academy students responsible for both our yearbook (The Sage) and newspaper (The Academy).

2008 Foothills Academy Yearbook
The Sage is our yearbook. It has had many names over the years, but became The Sage in 2006-2007. Photos, layout, cover design, content — it’s all up to the students (with the supervision of our faculty advisor). Each year brings a new and unique design reflecting the character of the graduating classes. Our yearbook contains student and faculty photos, documents significant events on campus, and provides a historic record of the academic year. Our original theme was “May the Circle Be Unbroken,” a sentiment from the 1970′s that expressed the spirit of community pervading our school. In 2001-2002, the theme evolved to reflect a changing world-view. Each yearbook is a snapshot of our culture, and a treasure to be preserved.
Our yearbook is printed and released before the end of the school year to allow for distribution and signing activities. In order to include photos of year-end activities such as academic and athletic awards, prom, and graduation, Foothills Academy produces an electronic Yearbook Supplement featuring these end-of-year highlights.
