Dates of existence
History
In 1938 Alberta government legislation required the amalgamation of small rural School Districts into larger School Divisions in order to improve administrative efficiency and quality of education. Foothills School Division No. 38, with headquarters in High River, encompassed a territory from Vulcan in the east to Turner Valley in the west, and from Cayley in the south to Okotoks in the north. It became operational in January 1939. By 1944 over 50 one-room rural schools were closed and replaced by 23 regional schools. By 1968 the schools of Okotoks and High River were amalgamated into the Division.
