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

Wonderful work to the Home Tour Artist

 

Intro to the Home Tour:

We are so thankful to all the homeowners who open up their homes for the Newport Harbor Home and Garden Tour.  To show our appreciation to them, they are given a beautiful rendering of the exterior of their home done by one of the talented art students at Newport Harbor High School.  This artwork is often treasured by the homeowners and proudly displayed in the homes featured on the home tour.  Be sure to look for these unique art pieces when you tour the homes this year.

 

Art teacher, Alesandra Esquivel:

"I am very proud of my students who participated in the Home Tour assignment! The Home Tour assignment is a great way for the advance students to continue their progression with utilizing their artistic skills. This project also offers an opportunity for the students to possibly try something they have never done before. The Home Tours assignment is designed to help students create an original artwork, along with sharing their talents with the Home owners and the school. Students work from photo references and may chose any art medium they would like to work with. This allows all students to add that creative freedom with the material and adds a variety throughout the project. It's a wonderful experience to watch and guide these artists produce this original artwork using their style and talents."
