Newport Harbor
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Newport Harbor High School is a public high school in Newport Beach, in Orange County, California, in the United States. It is part of the Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Its street address is 600 Irvine Avenue. Newport Harbor High School was founded in 1930. Since then it has grown to include more than 2,400 students. Michael Vossen is the Principal of the high school
One of the most famous structures at Newport Harbor is the Belltower, constructed in 1941. In 2003, Robins-Loats Hall was closed due to seismic safety concerns. This building held the landmark bell tower, as well as housed the library, science department, theater, drama department, music department, food services, historical museum and administration offices. The replacement building is scheduled to begin construction in summer 2007. The architects stayed true to the original façade in the design of the new building, yet the interior will have dramatically improved function.
Newport Harbor High School has one of the most respected athletic programs in Orange County, with its water polo and football teams frequently part of the county's elite. They currently compete in the Sunset League of the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section. Newport Harbor High School teams are known as the Sailors, though fans also refer to them as the Tars. The school colors are blue and gray.
Newport Harbor High School is committed to providing a safe and secure campus environment and a comprehensive program which guarantees intellectual, moral, social, emotional and physical experiences for all students to become critical thinkers, decision makers, effective leaders, academic achievers and responsible citizens in a culturally diverse society.
