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.

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
