Principal's Message
It is with great excitement that I welcome you and your students back to school! I am overjoyed to begin the year with our staff and students. I am blessed to be part of a great community here at Fullerton. Over the last 9 months I have had the opportunity to learn about the great things that FUHS has to offer and am excited to lead a school with such rich traditions and history. This is a school that is rooted in the community. I have met many families that have had multiple generations of students walk through our halls and for me this is part of the beauty that is Fullerton. I look forward to being a part of this great family for many years to come!  

For all of you that are new to us as freshman or newly joining our programs, I welcome you to our wonderful school. You will find that we have many opportunities for our students to thrive. We truly have something for each one of our students.

Each week, I will be sending out my Principal's Newsletter with activities, events, news, celebrations and important notices. My goal is to keep you connected and updated as to the amazing things that happen here and also to showcase our great student body!

We have the honor of being together this year to celebrate Fullerton Union High School's 125th Anniversary. Please make sure to look out for activities and events throughout the school year, celebrating our 125 years.

Once again, welcome back to school! Let's have a great year!

First Day of School
Zero Period begins at 6:48am. First Period begins at 7:50am. Class lists will be posted in the Breezeway connecting both quads. Zero and First Period will be listed. Student's Class schedules will be handed out by their first period teacher.
Counseling Corner
Class Schedules have been set for the school year. The only reasons any schedule changes will be allowed are the following:
  • if your student has an error in their schedule,
  • they have a missing class, and/or
  • an AP Class level change is needed.
Requests for a specific teacher or class period cannot be honored. Students that are requesting to add an athletic period need to work with their coach. Coaches will be submitting their team rosters to our counseling office for needed schedule changes.

Students should not leave during class time to address these requests and/or questions. Counselors will be available before school, lunch, break, and after school only. An administrator will be at the counseling doors helping students with their requests prior to entering the counseling office. 

For more information on our Counseling Center, please see our school website.
College & Career Center
Our College and Career Center is back! It is located on the 1st floor of our Library Building. The entrance is right next to the Administration Building.
