Dear FJUHSD Staff, Students, and Community,
Congratulations to the Class of 2025! Our graduation ceremonies were made even more memorable by the wonderfully cool weather and the excitement shared by students, families, and staff. We are so proud of your accomplishments and can’t wait to see the bright futures you will build.
As we head into summer and reflect on this month’s theme of Building Futures, we hope everyone takes time to rest, recharge, and celebrate the year’s successes. For those attending Summer School, please remember there are no classes on Fridays. More information is available in our newsletter.
We also want to extend heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to our 2025 retirees. Your years of dedication and service have helped shape the lives of countless students. Thank you, and enjoy a well-deserved retirement! To all our incredible staff, classified and certificated, thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students and schools throughout the year.
Wishing everyone a relaxing and joyful summer. Be sure to visit your school’s website and social media channels for important updates as we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year.

Board Meeting Highlights
The May 13th Board of Trustees Meeting featured several meaningful recognitions and commendations. We were proud to recognize the FSTO Scholarship recipients for their academic achievements and commitment to their future goals. These students represent the best of what our District strives to support and inspire. We also celebrated our Employees of the Year, outstanding individuals whose dedication, hard work, and positive impact continue to shape our schools and support student success across the District. In addition, we were pleased to introduce Julie Gonzalez as our new Director of Human Resources. We look forward to the leadership and experience she brings to this important role. We also took a moment to say goodbye and thank you to our 2024–2025 Student Board Member, Noelle Lidyoff and SAC Vice Chair Oscar Deniz. Their voice, perspective, and leadership have made a lasting impact, and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring these individuals and celebrating the strength and spirit of the FJUHSD community.

Administrator of the Year
We honor Dr. Ed Atkinson as the Administrator of the Year.
Dr. Atkinson’s legacy in the District spans decades. From his early days as a classroom teacher to his current role as Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Dr. Atkinson has served in nearly every capacity, with dignity, steadiness, and humility throughout.
He leads not for recognition but out of purpose. He serves not for applause but out of deep commitment. Colleagues describe him as reliable, wise, and deeply principled, someone you can count on, always.
We are grateful to Dr. Atkinson for his many years of dedicated service to the District. His thoughtful leadership and steady presence have made a lasting difference. He will be missed.
Thank you, Dr. Atkinson, for your extraordinary service, your enduring example, and your steadfast leadership.

Uniting Communities,
Engaging Minds, Building Futures:
Cultivating Growth at
Sunny Hills High School
In a previous update, we announced the removal of the portable building from the agriculture farm at Sunny Hills High School. Since then, the space has been completely reimagined, and the transformation is nothing short of inspiring! A brand-new garden has taken root and was spotlighted in the April newsletter during its early stages. Now, with vibrant planters, a fully installed irrigation, and raised beds bursting with potential, the first round of planting is officially complete. This once-empty space is blossoming into a dynamic, hands-on learning environment—a lively, collaborative hub where students, staff, and community members come together to grow, connect, and thrive!
