The FCHS/AHSFA Fine Arts teams, along with the AHSFA Society members would like to thank all the wonderful parents and volunteers who were able to come out and show their support for our Fine Arts programs for our 3rd annual "Sweet Showcase". The event was an absolute hit, with 26 cake creations donated to be auctioned off and our first ever live painting going to auction at the end of the night. The AHSFA Society was able to raise more funds for students in need as well as future Showcase events.

École Foothills Composite High School / Alberta High School of Fine Arts is on Treaty 7 territory, a traditional travelling route, gathering place, and meeting grounds of Indigenous Peoples. Our school is on the ancestral, traditional, and future lands of the Siksikaitsitapi, which is comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskapi Piikani First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; and the Îyârhe Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney First Nations, as well as the Métis Otipemisiwak and Esikisimu Nunangat. We are grateful for the languages, cultures, traditions, and histories of this land that influence our lives, providing the foundation to grow our knowledge and pursue our passions. Let this acknowledgement invoke in all of us a call to action to uphold our treaty relationships and fulfill our duties to reconciliation.
