Fullerton Sings! Fullerton Acts! Fullerton Marches! Fullerton Dances!
The Performing Arts are a vital and active part of Fullerton Union High School. Classes are offered in Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Theatre, and Dance. Many diverse opportunities for students to perform are provided and include our concert season in Plummer Auditorium, competitions and festivals for groups and soloists, community events, and performance tours.
Our Performing Arts Department has four credentialed faculty members and many adjunct faculty who are all committed to furthering the excellence of Performing Arts education at FUHS.
We believe all students have a right to a creative education and we value collaboration, creativity, professional development, consistency, inclusiveness, and the power of freedom of expression.
