This year we have started a new division of our JROTC. Motivated students along with their advisors have begun competing in the Cyber Patriot state and national competitions! Last week CyberPatriot just announced the results of the State round that was on January 10-12, 2019. Fullerton's team was 2nd out of 56 teams in the JROTC division for all of California in the Gold Division! Special recognition goes to Kylee Gong, Ginger De Castro, Benjamin Zinnel, Yarai Licon, and Joshua Miller who solved the cybersecurity issues that were presented in a six-hour marathon of computer science problem-solving with professionalism and aplomb.

Through one of our district’s Educational Partnership Agreements, Fullerton High School has been working with
Cal State Fullerton’s Upward Bound Program
since the Fall of 2017 and is back this school year. Upward Bound has been in existence since the 1960’s and FUHS students are lucky to be the only school in our district to benefit from their services. The program currently serves 31 FUHS students in grades 9-12.
The goal of the Upward Bound program is to prepare high school students for higher education and to help minority students gain equal access to higher education and graduate from college. They focus on academic success, university selection, opportunities for career exploration, and individual assistance with college applications and financial aid.
FUHS Upward Bound participants went through an application process in the Fall and are committed to the goals of the program. They participate in Saturday Success Academies as well as college field trips. Students are exposed to different experiences and opportunities available at universities through these field trips and summer college residence program.
Upward Bound students also participate in after school tutoring and college advising every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the Career Center. This Spring Break, students will have the opportunity to go on a college tour of 4 Universities in Central and Northern California. All services are free of charge for all participants. We are very excited to have programs like these on our campus! This continues to add to our College Going Culture at FUHS!

Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this week's athletic update!
Week of Jan. 22-26:
Playoffs!
Fullerton is in the CIF playoffs! Our wrestling team had a playoff match on Saturday, Jan. 26 versus Lakeside HS. We gave it our best, but came up a little short. We still have several wrestlers who have a good chance at making the individual CIF playoffs by weight class. We will find out next Friday, Feb. 1 as the wrestlers compete in the Freeway League Finals at Sonora HS. The action begins at 3pm.
Our boys soccer team is also poised to make the CIF playoffs. Currently the boys are in first place in the Freeway League! They have two games to play, Monday at home at 5pm for Senior Night against Buena Park and Wednesday away against Troy.
In girls soccer, the team is still battling for a playoff spot. The girls play Buena Park on Monday at Buena Park and on Wednesday for the Senior Night game at 5pm versus Troy. Good luck to both soccer teams!
In boys and girls basketball, the teams will play Buena Park on Tuesday, Jan. 29. The varsity girls play at 6:00 and the varsity boys at 7:30 at Fullerton College. Then they travel to Troy HS for the season finale against the Warriors on Thursday, also at 6:00 and 7:30. Go Tribe!
Finally, our girls water polo team is playing in the Freeway League Carousel. The girls play La Habra on Monday, Jan. 28 at 5pm at the Sunny Hills HS pool. There will be one more game for the girls on Thursday, Jan. 31. The game will be at SHHS with the time to be determined. The girls still have an outside shot at making the playoffs. They would have to finish no lower that 3rd place in league. So victories in these two games is critical. Play your hardest girls!
Our FUHS Athletics website is updated regularly with stories, information, scores and photos. Take a look at
Fullertonindiansathletics.com
. And we hope to see you at Open House, rain or shine!
Go Indians!
