       Important Dates to Remember!

Students planning to re-enroll for Fall Semester need to pick up a registration packet from the office the week of June 1st through July 22nd.

Students planning to transfer to another school need to inform the Guidance Specialists ASAP so that the proper transfer information is filled out.

A letter with more information about Fall Semester registration and the new site will be sent home in August. If you are moving during summer vacation, be sure to notify the Guidance Specialists of your new address and phone number.

COAST HIGH SCHOOL IS MOVING!

This coming fall, Coast High School will be located on the Marina High School campus just inside the Springdale entrance. We will occupy the 5 relocatable buildings to the right of the parking area. CHS will be at MHS while our new school is being built on the OVHS campus. We look forward to seeing our students at the new site at Marina High School in the fall. The first day of classes for Coast students will be Tuesday, September 8th, the day after Labor Day.

A Different Road...
A Different Drummer

Coast students are a diverse group of individuals with a common goal—to graduate with a high school diploma. Students who are successful at Coast have other things in common as well; for example, they are motivated and determined, and they take responsibility for their own education. Many of our students gain invaluable experience in time-management. Because of their involvement in career path activities outside of school, they have learned that they must manage their time efficiently in order to reach their goals, both academically and professionally.

• One Coast student is a professional skateboarder. She travels all over the world for her sponsor.
• Several Coast students are pursuing professional motocross careers. You can spot them by their bruises and scraped knees and elbows.
• One of our graduates is pursuing a career in ballet.
• A current student is a musician in a group that plays at concerts all over the country.
• Another student is pursuing a career as a professional hockey player.
• One of our former female students is a competitive surfer. She travels all over the U.S. to compete in surfing contests. She also travels to promote her sponsor’s products.
• Coast has been the academic home to a competitive skateboarder who also travels around the U.S. and is the model for a well-known skateboarding clothing line.
• CHS also has several students involved in the ROP cosmetology program, which requires students to attend four days a week. It is an intense course of study that prepares students to pass the State Boards.
• Many of our students are enrolled in other ROP classes, which prepare students for future careers through internships and eventual job placement.
• Several students have plans to enter trade schools after they have earned their diplomas. For example, one student is planning to apply to a well-known automotive training program in Wyoming.

Coast students are unique in that they have decided to take advantage of an alternative educational delivery system in order to attain their goals. Some of our other students acknowledge that they made some poor decisions in not attending classes at their home schools; however, they believe that the past doesn’t cement the future, and they are now making good decisions. They are managing their time better, taking personal responsibility for their education, and literally accelerating by “doing double duty” to make up credit deficiencies so they can either return to their home schools to graduate or stay at Coast and participate in our graduation ceremony.
