The best part about this school is the campus as it is decorated with nature and beauty. The worst part about it is the staff as many staff create a hostile environment for students as they utilize control and power over care.

Going to my high school was great because I had great teachers, friends, and resources to help through the process of making my education worth it.

I loved attending fullerton high school. I always got along with my classmates, teachers, and staff. I was always close with my counselor and communicated with her about my future throughout the last four years. My Case carrier, Mrs. Evans, helped me throughout my entire high school journey.
