The
Fullerton Joint Union High School District, hereinafter referred to as
"District," serves over 15,132 students in grades 9-12. The District
includes six comprehensive high schools (Buena Park (BPHS), Fullerton
Union (FUHS), La Habra (LHHS), Sonora (SOHS), Sunny Hills (SHHS), and
Troy (TRHS), High Schools, La Vista Continuation High School (LVHS), and
La Sierra High School (LSHS), the District’s alternative education high
school.
The District student enrollment
is drawn primarily from three north Orange County cities: Buena Park,
Fullerton, and La Habra. District schools also serve students residing
in parts of Los Angeles County and small portions of neighboring Orange
County cities. The demographics of the District’s student population
reflect the diversity of southern California: Hispanic – 51 percent,
White – 26 percent, Asian – 19 percent, African American – 3 percent,
and Native American – 1 percent. Eighteen percent of District students
are English language learners who speak 41 primary languages. Students
entering the District’s high schools come from four feeder elementary
school districts with seven junior high or middle schools.
The
District’s six comprehensive high schools and continuation and
alternative high schools are working to meet the goals and objectives
that have been adopted by the Board of Trustees. These goals and
objectives were established with input from students, teachers, parents,
community members, and administrative staff. They reflect the
District’s commitment to every student attending school in the District.
These goals form the basis of this District Technology Plan (DTP). In
condensed form, they appear below:
- Provide high quality
programs of sufficient breadth and depth so that students will have
achieved or surpassed District achievement standards and will have a
satisfactory level of knowledge and skills to continue formal education
and/or enter a productive occupation upon graduation.
- Provide
the environment and programs so that students will meet or exceed
District standards in attendance and personal behavior.
- Provide adequate, secure, well-maintained physical facilities, grounds, and equipment.
- Provide sound management of District resources.
- Provide effective internal and external communications.
- Provide
proper recognition of students, staff members, parents, and other
community members for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to
the District.
- Provide programs and implement decisions so that
parents, staff members, and students are satisfied with the support,
quality, and characteristics of the schools/District.
