Welcome
Welcome to Fullerton College History Booksite, where the history is as rich as the promising future. As one of the 116 community colleges in California and over 1,400 nationwide, Fullerton College has established a reputation for excellence in education and achievement. In 1965, Coach Hal Sherbeck famously declared, “Once A Hornet, Always a Hornet,” a sentiment that has resonated with countless alumni and staff who recognize the immense value of their experiences at Fullerton College.
Our Mission
In this first edition of Legends and Legacies: Over 100 Years of Fullerton College, we aim to capture the essence of Fullerton College’s journey so far and look ahead to the next 100 years. We hope to inspire and encourage current and future generations of Hornets to pursue their dreams and achieve their goals.
Our Vision
As our story continues to evolve, we are excited to invite our alumni to share their experiences and become more involved in the college’s future. This book is a tribute to the enduring spirit of the Hornet family, and we are proud to donate all proceeds to scholarships, experiential learning opportunities, and other initiatives that support our community of learning and belonging.
