Hey Honors transfers. What is up!??! Final words.


Look towards next year by valuing the past. We don't get that recognition (see above) without your Foothill ancestors. Those past Foothill students all did so well after transfer that universities now recognize our value to them. Keep the tradition alive friends. We send the best and these 4-year schools know it. You are the best promotion for Foothill College - so thank you.


We appreciate your time here and hope you come back and visit - sharing your exploits and making the world a better place for future family members.
