You can call the counseling office directly at (760)723-6300 ext. 3304 to make an appointment with your student's counselor. It is best to make an appointment ahead of time, as counselors are not always available on a walk in basis.

Students are able to visit their counselor during nutrition, lunch time, or after school. Students can also email their counselor directly to make an appointment, or visit the counseling office to submit a request to see their counselor. Please let the secretary know if there is an emergency and you need to see you counselor right away.

If you are leaving FUHSD, the parent must visit the registrar's office before or on the last day the student will be attending FUHS (please bring photo ID). Your student will receive a withdrawal form that all teachers must sign before your student transfers to their new school. The withdrawal form will have the student's transfer grades and any fees they may need to pay. The registrar's office is located inside the counseling office.
