As we look around, we see the “footprints” of Foothiller alumni and retirees, not just in the memorabilia they have donated, but in their financial support of GHS inside and outside the museum. Please know that we appreciate every donation, small and large. As we tell the students, this isn’t “our” museum; it belongs to all Foothillers past, present, and future.

With your support, these are the projects we are working on now.

WASP Mural

The WASP mural, which will honor our two historic Women’s Air Force Service Pilots: Jean Landis, Class of 1936, and Frances Coughlin, Class of 1938. Both women received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2009. Their mural will be on the wall adjacent to the Astronaut mural, facing the east side of the pool and visible from the museum as well.
