1:1 Junior Mentor Program,
The Mentor Program is unique to NHHS. It has a long tradition at NHHS, beginning 17 years ago as a component of the first small learning community on campus, the "Da Vinci Academy". The Mentor program has continued to grow and is now open to all juniors who wish to participate. The program runs from late Spring of the sophomore year through Spring of the junior year. Mentors provide career job shadowing and help students explore career options while being an adult listener outside of family and school who can empathize with students about being a teen in our complicated world, and help students develop decision making skills.
Please be sure to read all the information and program documents carefully when you receive them. Updates in general will also be posted on the NHHS website under "Programs" then "Junior Mentoring".
Any questions or concerns please contact Mentor Coordinators at:
Debbie Brostek Dbrostek@nmusd.us

Coastline Regional Occupational Program
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 may accumulate 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
Please email Angie Miner at aminer@nmusd.us in the counseling office with any questions or concerns you may have regarding community service requirements.
