About us

École Secondaire Foothills Composite High School and Alberta High School of Fine Arts High School work together in our building to ensure all student needs and interests are met. We are unique in that although there are two schools in our building, we offer all courses in our school to all students. 

As for demographics, we serve the learning needs of approximately 1450 students in Grades 10,11 and 12. Currently there are approximately 60 teachers and 20 support staff with a common goal of “Improving Learning for ALL Students.”

We are committed to academic excellence in all areas of education:  academics, the arts, athletics, and career and technology instruction. Together with strong character education, we believe these are all equally important contributors to the development and future employability of our students. We have safe, caring, and inclusive learning environments for our students. 

Our Alberta High School of Fine Arts School, which is an integral part of our school community, is recognized for award-winning performances in all facets of art, choir, theatre, dance & music. AHSFA (Alberta High School of Fine Arts) is the perfect steppingstone to advancing in the Arts.

We also host a vibrant French Immersion Program, where students improve their French Literacy skills both through taking courses in Social Studies and French Language Arts. Students in the French Immersion program are exposed to a variety of authentic learning experiences in the French Language.
