Catalina Foothills High School

A Global Learning Community of Academic and Social Excellence

Our teachers are skilled and committed; they hold high expectations for our students both about what students can do in the classroom while they are here and, more importantly, what they will be able to do in the world beyond our doors.

The greatest predictor of college success is the rigor of the high school courses that students take. To that end, we offer challenging Career & Technical Education (CTE) course pathways that prepare each graduate to soar.

Whether engaged in scientific discovery, creative expression, or intellectual debate, our students embrace challenging, thought-provoking learning experiences that inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for knowledge.

We have a 530-seat auditorium, a 250-seat theater, science labs, art studios, a production broadcast studio, a digital photography studio and darkroom, sports fields, a three-court gymnasium, an orchestra & guitar wing, and a theatrical scene shop.

CFHS thrives because of its strong, supportive community—parents, FFO and booster groups, and local residents who champion our schools through bond measures. Their commitment enables us to provide a world-class education for every student.

At CFHS, students develop character and leadership through teamwork, empathy, and perseverance—whether collaborating in the classroom, competing in athletics, performing in the arts, or serving the community.

The mission of CFHS, as a collaborative learning community committed to excellence, is to guarantee that each student demonstrates outstanding academic and personal achievement, graduates, and becomes a contributing member of the global community by engaging students in meaningful and challenging learning experiences within an environment that fosters a passion for learning and personal behavior of the highest standards.
