Wonderful School! My daughter exceled this year at Foster. Mr.Berringer is simply fantastic! I have never witnessed such an involved principal. He knows almost all the kids names and makes every effort to say hello to all of them each day.

Foster is a wonderful school! The principal, the teachers, and the counselors care very much about the children. They go above and beyond what is expected to the benefit of every child. I have had children in other schools, and there is no comparison, district 142 is the best!

Mr. Berringer is a brilliant principal. The children know him and respect him. He treats the children wonderfully. The staff is outstanding and the curriculum is world class. Oak Forest High School is one of the top 500 in the nation, and Foster and Mr. Berringer, starting these kids on the right path, is one of the reasons why.

I have been involved with Foster since 1993 as a parent volunteer. The principal and teachers are very caring and understanding. I have never had a time when I could not approach either with a problem or a suggestion for change.
