NEWS FROM ROP

Today's cutting-edge, rigorous and relevant career and technical education (CTE) prepares students for a wide range of high-wage, high-skill, high-demand careers.

Imagine a world without nurses, computer technicians, construction managers, dentists, preschool teachers, police officers, chefs, fire fighters, or entrepreneurs.  While in high school, students have the opportunity to take CTE courses taught by industry professionals that could be the inspiration for their future careers. Coastline ROP offers CTE courses at 26 high schools within five local school districts. Our courses are designed for ALL students due to a combination of academic knowledge and technical education, which provides students with a pathway to post-secondary education and/or a successful career. 

Classes on our campus include: Art of Animation, Culinary Arts, E-Marketing, Entertainment Art, Film and Digital Media Studies, and Visual Imagery. Contact your counselor to discuss enrolling in one of the bell scheduled ROP classes.

Many other classes are offered in the afternoon and evening throughout our five partnering school districts. Contact your Career Specialist, Kathleen Shannon, in the Career Center for more information.

Everyone should enroll in an ROP class, because Career and Technical Education Works!

NHHS Republican Club Honored by 

American Legion Newport Harbor Post 291

Cameron Geehr, President, and Colin Duffy, Vice President, of NHHS Republican Club were invited to a special Dinner at the American Legion Newport Harbor Post 291 to be honored for work raising money for "The Wounded Warriors Project".  The NHHS Republican Club raised $300 for the Wounded Warriors Project through a donut sale at lunch and a classroom collection in the history, social studies and government classrooms on campus. The American Legion rewarded their efforts by matching their donation, making the total $600.  Approximately 100 American Legion members were in attendance as the NHHS Republican Club was honored and invited on stage to be presented with a check by the Post Commander, Jess Lawson.  The American Legion Newport Harbor Post is the Second largest American Legion Post in the United States.   Thank you to all the NHHS students and faculty that contributed to the NHHS Republican Club's Wounded Warrior fundraiser making it a success for NHHS, the American Legion Newport Harbor Post 291, and most importantly the wounded warriors who will benefit from the program.
