“It started with one phone call to FUHSD and the secretary who answered was so nice and respectful and that same day I was registered for classes to obtain my high school diploma and started school the following week via Zoom. I turned in my transcript to Desirie Torres, their awesome student counselor, and she put me on a path to get my credits for my high school diploma. Larry Laskowski, my Physics teacher, made going to class fun with his knowledge and charismatic way he teaches made it not boring. Mariam Mooney, my math teacher made me understand math a lot easier by her teaching of the subject. She connects with her students beyond math class: she connects with them personally and excels them to be better in life in general. Deanne Berryhill, my Global Studies teacher, is amazing in the way she teaches. She hits on current issues in our country and implements that in our work and discussions. From the bottom to the top of this organization (FUHSD) they all put all their effort in giving you a chance to succeed in life THANK YOU.”
