The Fremont Union High School District is in the process of phasing out a language at each of their schools, and Japanese was chosen at Cupertino High School. This decision deprives incoming students of the opportunity to have the same education that we current students take for granted.

We, the students of the Japanese language program, believe that these decisions should be reversed; this program has been pivotal in our high school lives, and taking away this opportunity for future students would mean neglecting the interests of the students, current and incoming. 

This upcoming 2024 school year, Japanese Level 1 was not offered as a course option; as unfortunate as that was, we still have countless students signing up for Level 2, willing to skip an important level simply to have the opportunity to continue to learn the language. If you are interested in exploring the different experiences of students who are in the class right now, please visit this document here: linked here. We students truly care for this program, and we would all hate to see our memories and experiences disappear simply because FUHSD made their own decision.

We are incredibly passionate about this language program, and we hope that you can help us bring back the class through combined efforts. Thank you for your time!
