Principal's Message

Welcome to Foothill elementary!

Hello Foothill Community,

I am so honored to be the principal of this esteemed neighborhood school. Foothill has held a special place in my heart as my three oldest children attended here back in the early 2000s. Foothill is a place where children feel safe, are loved, and thrive socially and academically.

Together, as a community of staff, students and families, we will continue to ensure that Foothill is a place where all children are included, are loved and have what they need to grow. We take great pride in knowing and nurturing the whole child, in providing rigorous and engaging learning experiences and teaching students how to be thinkers and to learn collaboratively. 

Teaching, modeling and reinforcing respect, responsibility, kindness and safety is at the core of how we live and learn together at Foothill. We learn, play, create, problem-solve, work and have fun together!

Please reach out to me at any time with questions, concerns or compliments.

Your proud principal,

Sennen Knauer
