Guest speaker inspires students at Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting:

Adam Goodman, a former USC fullback and the Orange County director of Fellowship of Christian Athletes(FCA), visited FUHS as FCA’s guest speaker. When Goodman tore his ACL and ruined his future plans for professional football, he turned to sharing his faith.

“I want to inspire kids who may have been like me,” Goodman said. “But it’s not about me. It’s about love and self-sacrifice.”

FCA meets every first Wednesday of the month in room 142 and provides free pizza.
