  Big Foot High School (BFHS) is a comprehensive four-year public high school located in Wisconsin's 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 leader Big Foot (Maumksuck) who had 6 toes and lived along the banks of Geneva Lake (originally known as Big Foot Lake) until his tribe was forcibly relocated by the United States government in 1836.
