MacArthur Fundamental Intermediate - Macarthurfis

🎓 Congratulations to the MacArthur Fundamental Intermediate Class of 2026! 🎉

We celebrated a remarkable group of students who have worked hard, grown together, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Your dedication, resilience, leadership, and Tiger pride have left a lasting mark on our school community.

As you begin this next chapter, remember to continue challenging yourselves, pursuing your goals, and always believing in your potential. We are incredibly proud of all you have accomplished and excited to see the amazing things your future holds.

Thank you to our teachers, staff, and families for your continued support and partnership throughout this journey.

Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!

MacArthur students had the opportunity to learn from over 35 incredible presenters during our 2026 College & Career Day!

Our speakers shared not only what they do professionally, but also the journeys, challenges, decisions, and experiences that helped guide them to their careers. From college pathways and military service to trades, public service, healthcare, business, education, and beyond, our students were exposed to a wide range of possibilities for their future.

A huge thank you to all of our presenters for taking the time to invest in our students, inspire them, and remind them that success can take many different paths. Your willingness to share your stories made a lasting impact on our MacArthur family.

Thank you to our career day committee for putting together such a impactful event.

We are grateful for your support and partnership in helping prepare our students for the future.

Congratulations Valerie for being named the AVID standout at MacArthur. Her hard work and commitment paid off. We are very proud of you !

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Congratulations to our amazing students whose artwork was selected for the 2026 OCArts4All county art show!
They were honored at the Orange County Department of Education Thursday 4/30, and their artwork is currently on display in Crystal Court, South Coast Plaza for the public to see.
Additionally, two of our students will have their artwork move on to the Laguna Festival of Arts for the junior art showcase competition in June. Great work, Tigers!
