Big Foot High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Big Foot High School (BFHS) is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in South Central Walworth County in the Village of Walworth. A union high school, BFHS operates as a grade 9-12 district with students coming from four K-8 districts. BFHS is governed by a separate, elected five-member board of education. The BFHS union district serves families from the villages of Fontana, Sharon and Walworth; and the townships of Walworth, Delavan, Linn and Sharon.

BFHS is named after the Potawatomi Indian Chief Big Foot (Maumksuck) who lived along the banks of Geneva Lake (originally known as Big Foot Lake) until his tribe was relocated by the United States government in 1836.
