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!

What is Career and Technical Education?

Encompasses 94 percent of high school students and 13 million post-secondary students.

■Includes high schools, career centers, community and technical colleges, four-year universities and more.

■Educates students for a range of career options through 16 Career Clusters and 81 pathways.

■Integrates with academics in a rigorous and relevant curriculum.

Features high school and post-secondary partnerships, enabling clear pathways to certifications and degrees.

■Fulfills employer needs in high-skill, high-wage, high-demand areas.

Prepares students to be college and career-ready by providing core academic skills, employ-ability skills and technical, job-specific skills.

CTE Works for High School Students

High school students involved in CTE are more engaged, perform better and graduate at higher rates.

■81 percent of dropouts say relevant, real-world learning opportunities would have kept them in high school.

■The average high school graduation rate for students concentrating in CTE programs is 90.18 percent, compared to an average national freshman graduation rate of 74.9 percent.

More than 70 percent of secondary CTE concentrators pursued post-secondary education shortly after high school.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Volunteering is an expression of support for a principle that strikes to the heart of many people.  Working together we can make a difference and make the world a better place. 

Volunteerism empowers individuals and helps build a more cohesive society.  Volunteering enables one to play a vital role in supporting the American culture; citizenship; responsibility and service.  Everyone has skills and talents they can give. In a study conducted by The Corporation for National and Community Services, there are over 7.0 million volunteers per year in the state of California.  That's 964 million hours of service per year equating to approximately 34.1 hours per resident.  That's amazing!

 

The purpose of the NMUSD community service program is to provide all high school students the opportunity to have a positive impact in our community while learning that service to others is an on-going part of life.  40 hours of community service is a requirement for graduation in NMUSD.  It is recommended that students complete a minimum of 10 hours of community service each year.  Students mayaccumulate more than 10 hours per year.  Students are advised to complete the community service requirement prior to their senior year.    Please take note of the following guidelines when performing your service:

  • Community Service hours must be completed at a non-profit organization
  • A student may volunteer for a single organization or at a variety of organizations
  • Students are encouraged to complete their hours in areas related to their personal interests
  • Paid experiences do not qualify
  • Working without pay at your job or for a family business does not qualify
  • Court ordered community service will be accepted for up to 20 hours of the required 40 hours
  • Students can earn a maximum of 20 hours through a sport, school related activity (i.e.:  theater, school newspaper, yearbook, tutoring, etc. - all hours must be performed outside of school hours and should not count towards any school credit)
  • Students cannot earn hours for donating items or money - only their time.
  • When a student transfers from one NMUSD school to another, the community service Hours will be forwarded to the receiving school.
  • The community service requirement will be prorated for students transferring into an NMUSD high school (5 hours per semester of attendance
