Student board member Ariana Machado reviews back-to-school activities; district recognizes summer achievements
Summary
Student board member Ariana Machado and school principals offered extended back-to-school reports highlighting campus events, leadership programming, athletic and arts accomplishments, and student recognition across district high schools.
Student board member Ariana Machado gave an extended report on late-summer and early‑September activities across the Fullerton Joint Union High School District, and principals used the meeting to recognize student achievements and summer programs.
Machado outlined a districtwide focus on student engagement, announced a new initiative called "cookie connections" to reach students with lower participation, and noted the Student Advisory Council meeting at Troy High School and the FUHSD student leadership symposium on Sept. 26. She also summarized ASB-led homecoming planning and campus-specific events.
Principals from multiple campuses highlighted athletic seasons, performing arts recognitions and academic honors: La Habra’s events and senior honors; Buena Park’s strong football turnout and back-to-school night; Fullerton Union’s theater awards and student athletes competing nationally; Troy’s club offerings and upcoming college fair; Sunny Hills and Sonora’s marching band, AP and AP recognitions, and agriculture/FFA achievements at the Orange County Fair.
District staff introduced newly appointed administrators — Raul Cervantes (assistant director of maintenance and operations), Troy Shandy (assistant director of facilities) and JD Mancha (assistant director of transportation) — and recognized staff and students who placed or participated in statewide and national competitions.
The board offered congratulations and invited principals back for future updates; no formal action was taken on the recognitions.
