Principal's Message
We have amazing students who participate in amazing activities here at FUHS! A great example of this are our AVID classes. A couple of weeks ago, they participated in helping out at the OC Food Bank. This was a community service opportunity. They worked in packing boxes of food for needy families in the area. Hard work but very rewarding!
Last week our BEAST program took our Biological Arts Students to Knott's Berry Farm for a Scary Farm Backstage Tour with the maze designers, electrical engineers, and show service staff. This was an amazing opportunity for our students to continue to learn about their possible future careers!
First Gen Club
One of the newest clubs on our campus is our FirstGen Club. A Club created to celebrate and support our students who will be the First Generation in their family to go on to college! November 8th was National FirstGen Day and our students and staff came out in support of all of our students. If you have any questions or would like your student to be part of this club, please have them see Mr. Mendoza in room 73.
