  Mission Statement  

     Foley High School is dedicated to empowering students, staff, and the community to be skilled, knowledgeable, independent, ethical, productive, and life-long learners in an ever-changing society.  We are committed to the use of all available resources to provide quality instructional programs through which all students will develop their greatest potential, demonstrate mutual respect, work cooperatively to achieve clearly stated goals, value the learning process, and prepare—in a safe and orderly environment—for a productive role as responsible citizens and consumers in a democratic society.  We are determined to empower teachers to create a dramatically improved learning environment that integrates appropriate computer-related instructional and communication technologies so effectively that these technologies become transparent tools used in the educational process.  We will provide instruction that offers a variety of teaching methods to meet the numerous differences among our student population.  We are committed to providing equitable access to information and communication technologies for all members of our community through various school-sponsored and system-wide programs.  In order to accomplish this mission, we are dedicated to providing the technology infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of varied learners.

  About The School  

History of Foley High School

       

The history of Foley Schools dates back to 1908 when records indicate that the school was a one-room building.  Additional rooms were added over the next several years, and in 1918, a two-story brick building was erected.  Mr. S. M. Tharp was the superintendent.

      The first senior class graduated in 1922.  A new five-room building (now Foley Middle School) was built in 1924, and the school officially became Foley High School.

      In 1958 the school became a member of the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges.  In the 1970’s the school was divided into three (and then, four) schools with separate faculty, administration, and staff.  The library, gym, and science wing were added to the facility.  The school population grew rapidly beginning with the 1980’s.

      The new Foley High School opened in its new location at One Pride Drive in the fall of 1990.  In addition to 65 classrooms, the building houses a media center, four computer labs, a technology lab, a special education suite, gym, and cafeteria.  Since its opening, outside areas have been developed, including a wetland for scientific study, field house, baseball and softball fields, and a track.  The fall of 1995 brought the beginning of block scheduling and additional requirements for graduation and new course offerings.  In 1998 the entire school was networked to accommodate for additional technology and expansion of technology in the future.  In 2005, due to extensive expansion of students and facilities, six portable learning cottages were added to the grounds of Foley High School with an additional 14 projected for the next school year.  All of these are wired for teacher and student use of technology.  In 2006, these portables were added to the school grounds and construction of a new wing got underway to provide for the rapid growth seen in the school and its facilities. 

      Just as in the past, the educational needs of the people and the community will motivate changes and expansion at Foley High School.
