To our ÉSFCHS | AHSFA students and families, 


Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We hope your summer was filled with memorable moments. We are looking forward to school start up and we hope you are too!

August 29th is the first day for grade 10 students only. School starts at 8:30, and an assembly will take place in the gym at 9:00am and then students will be following their timetables on a condensed morning schedule.  Please note there is no bussing available on that day. Lunch will be provided for all grade 10 students and there are no classes scheduled for the afternoon.   

We often get questions about the school supply list for grade 10 students.  Please note that students will need to bring a writing utensil and paper for the first day.  All other supply requirements will be shared by individual teachers.

September 2nd is the first day of classes for all students (grades 10,11 and 12). 

School Tours will take place for new students to the school on August 27th, from 11-12 and from 1-2. 

Strong partnerships and clear communication between home and school are key to student success.  We encourage families to stay connected by visiting our website regularly for important updates and resources. 

 If you have questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s grade-level administrator.

École Foothills Composite High School / Alberta High School of Fine Arts is on Treaty 7 territory, a traditional travelling route, gathering place, and meeting grounds of Indigenous Peoples. Our school is on the ancestral, traditional, and future lands of the Siksikaitsitapi, which is comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskapi Piikani First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; and the Îyârhe Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney First Nations, as well as the Métis Otipemisiwak and Esikisimu Nunangat. We are grateful for the languages, cultures, traditions, and histories of this land that influence our lives, providing the foundation to grow our knowledge and pursue our passions. Let this acknowledgement invoke in all of us a call to action to uphold our treaty relationships and fulfill our duties to reconciliation.
