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.

Fullerton Union High School has helped me greatly with my academics. The teachers are passionate about what they do and seem genuinely inspired to teach students. Some students are ill-behaved, but it is a minority. I would like to see the mascot change because I believe it is racist.

My experience at Fullerton is very positive. From the start of 9th grade, student organizations like Link Crew have fostered friendships, many of which last throughout high school. School culture is also diverse and welcoming of students from all backgrounds.
