Good Morning Fullerton Families!

We've had a busy week at Fullerton! Our school went through an accreditation visit from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges this week. This is a visit all high schools have to prepare for every six years. It helps us as a school community reflect on our practices and our goals. The visiting committee found that our school has great programs, and we have articulate, amazing students who are taking advantage of those programs. The strengths and areas of growth that our staff identified are on point and we should be good to go for another six years! I would like to thank our parents that participated in interviews and showed their support for the school. Thank you to the students who were interviewed in groups and were a great representation of our student body. We had amazing Teacher Focus Chairs who led our staff in courageous conversations and helped us move forward. Last but not least, a great big thank you to Mrs. Nicole Ruiz who has been leading this effort for over two years. Her organization and leadership are truly appreciated! We are thankful overall for our school community.

I hope everyone is enjoying a sunny three-day weekend in honor of our Veterans!
