FULLERTON — Family and friends were on hand Thursday to watch 429 Fullerton Union High seniors take that next big step in life: graduate high school.
College is next for a bulk of the students. Half plan on attending a community college and a quarter expect to report to a four-year college.
“It flew by so fast – one day I’m a freshman, the next day, I’m a senior. I’m going to miss not the high school, but all the friends.”
Tisha Surles
Graduate
“You want to make me cry now? It’s not only an accomplishment for them, but it’s an accomplishment for the parent after helping them all these years. It hasn’t hit me yet, but I’m sure it will, once the music starts playing.”
Veronica Quintanilla
Mother of graduate Vanessa Quintanilla
“This is a group of hardworking students who faced a lot of challenges and met those challenges above expectations. This is a good class, as far as classes go. Sometimes you get wild ones, sometimes you get extremely brainiac, nerdy ones. This one has something for everybody.”
Kathy Cook
Special Education Teacher
“High school is like the first chapter of a massive novel. We will always remember the time we had, the friends we met and the lessons we learned.”
Arielle DeVay
ASB President
