History

Opened in 1973, the school was named for former Superintendent of Schools Joseph A. Foran. It opened as the third of three high schools in Milford, including Milford High School and Jonathan Law High School. About ten years after the opening of Foran High School, Milford High School closed in 1983. The school's motto is “Lion Pride” and the sports teams are the Foran Lions. The Foran Lion mascot is named Brutus in honor of Joseph A. Foran's grandfather Brutus P. Foran.
