Best FUHS School Memories:

Just another kid from Yorba Linda who was lost in the big school of FUHS after attending Yorba Linda Elementary School from kindergarten to the eight grade with the same 32 friends. FHUS years where a blur more than anything. I enjoyed wood shop, drafting, metal and auto shop and like the theatre and Mr. Peters, but the rest of the stuff going on participating in academic, FUHS social life and sports were just a mystery to me. I get on the bus in the morning for two hours drive to FUHS, attend my classes, get back on the bus and be back in Yorba Linda in an hour or so.

Who Was Your Favorite Teacher?

Mr. Hamner and Mr Peters
