The Fullerton Union High School Guidance Department is comprised of three Counselors, three Guidance Technicians, one Career Guidance Specialist, one Assistant Principal, and support staff. Each student is assigned a counselor for the entire four years they attend Fullerton Union High School. This counselor will be the students' main contact for both educational and personal issues. The counselors meet with each student and their parent/guardian at least one time each year in a scheduled appointment. Additionally, students are urged to communicate with their counselor as needed on a "drop-in" basis during lunch, break, before school, or after school. Parents may set up additional appointments with counselors as needed by calling the counseling office (714)-626-3817.
