Bob+Foster

Bob Foster teaches sophomore English and yearbook at Eagle High School in Eagle, Idaho. He was born in Springfield, Missouri, and was raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He was one of six children in a home of working parents. His father was a research chemist at INEL (then called the Atomic Energy Commission) near Arco, Idaho, and his mother taught high school art. His life hero is his uncle Linfield Crowder who recently passed away. He was a spiritual mentor to Bob in his Christian life. His mother and a college professor named Dan Pecota inspired his teaching career. After working many years with youth and adults in Christian ministries, he decided to become a teacher, where he could be a good male role model for youth of the community. Bob received a BA in Biblical Literature to prepare for his 21 years in Christian ministry. Later, he returned to school and was certified to teach in English and Speech.

His goals for his students include life-long learning and reading. He believes that to be a good teacher, one needs to have a personal connection to his students. His greatest thrill is to get a burly football player excited about reading a book on their own for the first time. When he is not teaching, he enjoys playing guitar and singing all kinds of music, board games, camping and fishing. He is also an avid reader and is called "Renaissance Man" by his son for reading old classics on modern technology.
