Foothill High School is located in Bakersfield, California and serves grades 9-12. Their speech and debate team won the State Championship (small schools) in 2004, and in 2003, Foothill had the league record of sending 7 students to the National Championships. Their FFA Advanced Parliamentary Procedure Team won a National Championship at the National FFA Convention in October 2007.

In 2010, the "We The People" team made it to state for the first time in the school's history. Although they did not make it to the final rounds in the capital, Unit 4 of the team received a Unit award out of the remaining 7 schools.
