Fortuna Union High School or FUHS, is a public high school in Fortuna, California. The school serves a large area of the midsection of Humboldt County.[3] Despite this, enrollment is down from a recent high of 1,159 in 2000–01 to 844 in 2013–2014.[4]

The FUHS website, lists three campus locations for schools in the Fortuna Unified High School District: Fortuna High School, East High Fortuna and Academy of the Redwoods.[5]

History

The Fortuna Union High School was established on July 1, 1905.[1]

In August 2020, Fortuna High School was allegedly the first large-population school on the North Coast to reopen campus and resume face to face instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

Academic programs

Academic programs at Fortuna High School include: Career and Technology Education, English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Science, Social Sciences, Spanish and Visual and Performing Arts.[5]Recently, the school has begun offering courses on a wider variety of interests, ranging from computer science to pottery.

Athletics

Athletic programs at FUHS include:[5]

Mascot and school colors

The school mascot is the Husky(dog) and the colors are royal blue and white.[7] The mascot often gets confused with a Siberian Husky, but that just simply isn't true and is a touchy subject for many alumni of the school.

Milk Can Rivalry

The boys(and girls) football team has a long-standing rivalry with the adjacent town of Ferndale, California. The winner of the annual game takes home a big milk can labeled with the years and scores of the winning and losing teams.[8]

In 2014, the Huskies won the Milk Can.
