Hello Fullerton Families!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break with family and friends! We are in the home stretch! Winter Break is around the corner along with the end of the semester.

We have some exciting news coming from our BEAST Program! On Thursday evening, we were awarded our 11th Golden Bell from the CA School Boards Association for our BEAST Program and its excellence in Career Technical Education. Congratulations and Thank you to our amazing teachers, Mr. Scott Hudson and Mr. Jim Pitochelli for their amazing work and dedication to this program. They have developed BEAST into a premier program giving our students great opportunities! We couldn't be more proud of their work and excited for even more things to come!

We are also very proud of the fact that Michael Despars, our amazing Theater Teacher has been awarded a Distinguished Career Award from the Orange County Music and Arts Association! Our Academy of the Arts is truly one of a kind and Mr. Despars is helping lead the way! Go Tribe!

Fun Activities

AVID College Fun!

AVID students interested in USC walked the halls of their campus to learn more about the diverse courses offered at this leading private research university. AVID Students were able to act like college students for a day by having lunch in their campus dining halls and walking through their bookstore. Afterward, AVID toured FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) and learned about its technology-driven education that cultivates student creativity. Thank you AVID for getting our students out there and getting them ready to go to college!
