Yesterday, we officially welcomed our newest Wolves during Freshman Orientation! Students enjoyed breakfast, picked up their schedules, attended a welcome assembly, and walked through each of their class periods to get familiar with campus before the first day of school.
We're excited to see all the amazing things this class will accomplish over the next four years. Here's to new friendships, new opportunities, and an incredible year ahead.

As we prepare to welcome students back to campus, we ask all families to review our updated traffic procedures. Following the designated traffic patterns helps keep students, staff, and visitors safe while reducing congestion during our busiest times of the day.
Morning Parent Drop-Off
Parents dropping off students should follow the designated morning drop-off route. Please remain in the designated traffic lane, pull forward as directed, and allow students to exit quickly and safely.
Student Drivers
Students who drive to school should use the designated student entrance and follow the posted route into the student parking lot. Overflow parking is available as indicated on the traffic map.
Afternoon Pick-Up & Student Dismissal
During afternoon dismissal, parents and student drivers will merge together and exit through the east gate. Please be patient, follow staff directions, and avoid stopping or parking in undesignated areas to help traffic continue moving safely and efficiently.
Thank you for doing your part to make arrival and dismissal safe for all Wolves. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we begin another great school year!




This well-deserved honor reflects Mr. Wright's unwavering commitment to our student-athletes, coaches, and the entire Estrella Foothills High School community. His leadership continues to make a lasting impact both on and off the field.
