Moreover, we express our sincere appreciation to Student Board Member Katie Sweeney and SAC Vice Chair Grace Nevis for their invaluable service, extending our best wishes for their endeavors as they transition into college.
As we reflect upon the contributions of all our committed employees throughout the 2023/24 academic year, we celebrate alongside our graduating seniors. Congratulations to the GRADUATING CLASS OF 2024! Your perseverance and dedication have culminated in this significant milestone. We commend you for your achievements during your tenure at FJUHSD, and we are confident that the skills and relationships forged will propel you towards future success.
Lastly, we extend heartfelt gratitude to our parents, guardians, families, and community members, as well as our esteemed Board of Trustees, for their unwavering support of our students and schools. Your active engagement and genuine commitment to education are instrumental in shaping FJUHSD as the premier destination for academic excellence.

Students Succeeding!
The Educational Services department received a delicious coffee delivery from some of the amazing students who operate CafATP at La Sierra High School. CafATP is an on-campus coffee shop specializing in handcrafted espresso drinks serving the staff at La Sierra and La Vista High Schools. It is an opportunity for the students of La Sierra Adult Transition Program to work on functional and productive job skills. CafATP allows students to build connections with individuals in their local communities. Additionally, the energetic and enthusiastic professionalism radiating from these students brightened up our office just as much as their tasty coffees!

Congratulations to La Habra High School student Noah (Anais) Esquivias Collado, who has been selected as a semifinalist for the 2024 Artist of the Year in fine arts.
Take a moment to explore Noah's Art Portfolio by clicking here and immerse yourself in the world of creative artistry. Noah's journey as an artist began in childhood, a testament to innate passion for creation. Noah's love for drawing knows no bounds, fueled by a profound admiration for the intricate artistry found in cartoons and movies. With each stroke, channels of magic and animation is created. Noah states, “Similarly to many other artists, I started drawing ever since I was a kid. I always loved to create, it had become part of my identity very early on. I was always enamored with the process of creating art. The biggest influences I had were cartoons and movies in general. Whenever I would watch a movie, I would think about the process of applying special effects makeup, editing, and (my favorite) animation.”
