California's graduation requirements changed under Assembly Bill 101 (passed in 2021), mandating the addition of a semester-long Ethnic Studies course for all high schoolers, starting with the Class of 2030. Due to this change, below are the different FUHSD Graduation Requirements based on whether students will graduate in the year 2029 and earlier, or in the year 2030 and after.
