FJUHSD Celebrates

FJUHSD Board of Trustees and Superintendent McLaughlin honored Employees of the Year from across our District on Tuesday night at our monthly Board Meeting. Congratulations to Sonora's Classified Employee of the Year, Crystal Cano, and our Certificated Employee of the Year, Karen McClung. It was a special night that we were able to commemorate with them and their families.

Student Board Member

Each year, a student is elected from one of the seven high schools to be a member of the Fullerton Joint Union High School District Board of Trustees. The student member attends all open Board meetings as the representative of the District’s students. The student sits on the Board with the other five adult members who are chosen in local elections. The two major responsibilities of the Student Board Member are (1) attending all open Board meetings and (2) presiding as chairperson over the Student Advisory Council (SAC), a committee made up of each school’s ASB president and two additional members from each school. Board meetings are held once a month in the Education Center Board Room at 6:00 p.m. Student Board Member presents an oral report at each meeting and attends all Regular Board meetings. The report can cover a variety of issues from focusing on individual campus activities to District activities that involve the students and/ or student opinions about current or proposed school policies. 

Congratulations to the FJUHSD Student Board Member for the 2023/2024 school year, Esmeralda Lozano Hernandez. We are so proud of you and the work that you will do for our District, Esmeralda.

We are so proud of each of our students who have been accepted or acknowledged that they are going to a college/university or career or military after high school. We are so proud of each member of our Class of 2023. On Wednesday we celebrated our college acceptances by holding our second annual Signing Day. Here are some pictures of those who participated.

Thank-You

A special thank you goes to our PTSA and Moms In Prayer. PTSA coordinated food and decorations every day for our staff last week. They did a great job in making sure the tables were fully stocked with food and the refrigerator was full of cold water and teas for all. Our Moms in Prayer provided a great lunch for us on Thursday.

Thank you to our parent groups for your support and showing your appreciation to our staff.
