The current enrollment of 2,550 is right at capacity, with all classrooms utilized every period. Modernization of the main building begins this year. Crews will reinforce the foundation, expand the library, and update all restrooms and classrooms. During construction, all English and social studies classes will be located in new interim housing on the north side of campus. We intend to reduce the impact of this construction project on classroom instruction. LIBRARY: The MHS library is under renovation. All reference materials and online resources are available, but fewer can work in the smaller, interim library. However, classes still use the library s resources, and the librarian brings resource materials to the classrooms. A part-time librarian and technician and a full-time clerk assist and teachers. COMPUTERS: Marina is a Digital High School. Each classroom has at least three computers. There are also four computer labs, three Pentium labs (two in the business department), and a G4 Mac lab. Twenty wireless laptop computers are also available for student use, at the request of teachers. TEXTBOOKS: Marina has spent $600,000 purchasing new textbooks over the past four years, in an effort to give our the most recent, up-to-date information. All textbook copyrights are dated after 1998, and every student has a book for every assigned class. Parent Involvement Marina has strong parent and community involvement. Hundreds of parents help out with major events such as registration, textbook distribution, and yearbook and cap and gown distribution through the Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS). Hundreds more are involved in the many booster organizations that support our cocurricular activities. The school site council, PTSA, Grad Night, and the Educational Foundation are other important organizations that involve parents and community members in the governance of the school, fundraising for the classrooms, and providing important programs for and parents. Climate for Learning HOMEWORK: All teachers assign homework, which varies based on the type and level of the course. Teachers outline homework practices and policies in their Classroom Expectations booklets, which they distribute to each student. Many teachers have Web pages that list the daily assignments and homework for the week. ATTENDANCE: Students were in class about 95% of the time. DISCIPLINE: Marina s discipline and attendance policies are well articulated and enforced through interventions such as detention, Saturday School, in-house suspension, and school suspension. Conflict mediation is used to help resolve their problems and reduce suspensions. Students are honored quarterly with Most Improved Student awards from their teachers, and the Principal s Honor Roll is published each semester for earning a 3.2 GPA or above.
