A Message from our Principal

Welcome to Fontana High School—Where We Live Maroon Every Day!

It is my greatest honor to serve as the principal of Fontana High School—a school grounded in academic excellence, relentless student growth, and the bold spirit of Live Maroon. Here at FOHI, we believe that every student has the power to shape their future, and we are committed to providing the support, opportunities, and guidance needed to ensure OUR Steelers are future ready.

As a FOHI family, we make an active decision every day to be the best version of ourselves, to own our education, and embrace our role as proud Steelers. Our passionate educators and staff are here to challenge you academically, support you emotionally, and encourage you to explore your passions through our robust programs both inside and outside the classroom.

We value connection, communication, and collaboration. From our classrooms to our fields, from the arts to academics, we work tirelessly to prepare you not just for graduation, but for life after high school — with success in college, careers, and life. We expect the best from one another, focus on solutions, and take pride in being part of a community that LOVES being a STEELER.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Let’s make the most of every opportunity, keep those doors open, and create unforgettable memories while we’re at it.

Sincerely,
Joseph Malatesta
Principal at Fontana High School
