Welcome back to the 2021-2022 school year! I am so excited to serve the Fullerton Joint Union High School District as your superintendent. The start of a new school year is always invigorating and brings with it a sense of excitement associated with any new beginning. This year is especially exciting as we welcome back over 13,000 students and staff members as we continue to work together to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic. With this in mind, our theme for this school year is “Making Meaningful Connections.” The Board of Trustees, FJUHSD staff, and I are committed to working together with all parents/guardians, students, teachers, staff members, and the entire school community to continue to provide excellent educational programs in a safe and nurturing environment. 

We want to thank the greater FJUHSD community for all of your support during the past two years in ensuring all students were cared for during this unique time. We look forward to a more “normal” 2021-2022 school year filled with engaging and rigorous learning opportunities, memorable moments made during our outstanding school events and activities, and many, many meaningful connections throughout our school community.

Steve McLaughlin, Ed.D.
