The college and career pathways offered at MMHS are: business, culinary, engineering, liberal
studies/education, medical, and visual and performing arts. These pathways allow students to
take required coursework for graduation, develop skills and experience in careers that meet their
interests so they become equipped to compete in our state and nation’s current job market.
MMHS has a fully-equipped kitchen that provides our students with opportunities to learn the
culinary and hospitality business. Also, MMHS houses a design and print center called Oasis that
allows our students to design and print photographs, posters, brochures, and banners.
We believe our students see their education as being more valuable if they are involved in the
school. That is why our goal is to have 100% of our students involved in at least one school
activity. There are a vast array of opportunities for our students to get involved and connected,
including our competitive athletic program, award-winning student activities program, a large
number of clubs and service organizations, and our thriving visual and performing arts program.

About the SARC
A. Conditions of Learning
Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School
Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC
contains information about the condition and performance of each
California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local
Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to
meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to
address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is
to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
State Priority: Basic
The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Basic State
Priority (Priority 1):
•
Degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned and fully
credentialed in the subject area and for the pupils they are teaching;
•
Pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and
•
School facilities are maintained in good repair.
•
•
•
•
For more information about SARC requirements, see the California
Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
View this SARC online at the school and/or LEA Web sites.
For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF

Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year 2014-15)
Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education
(SBE) decides on the standards for all students, from kindergarten through high school, in all public schools. In 2010, a number of states across the
nation adopted the same standards for English and math. These standards are called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). On August 2, 2010,
California’s SBE voted to adopt the CCSS with California additions. California has committed to implementing the California CCSS and is currently part
of a multi-state assessment consortium that plans on having CCSS-based assessments in place by the 2014–15 school year. More information about
the California Common Core State Standards may be found on the CDE CCSS Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/cc
On September 4, 2013, the SBE adopted the Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve (CA
NGSS).
School districts have the authority and the responsibility to conduct their own evaluation of instructional materials and to adopt the materials that best
meet the needs of their students. All textbooks used in MVUSD are aligned with the State’s standards and curriculum frameworks, they are field tested
with students and reviewed by administrators, teachers and parents before being adopted by the Board of Education.

C. Engagement
State Priority: Parental Involvement
The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (Priority 3):
•
Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each schoolsite.
Opportunities for Parental Involvement
Parents are welcome at school, and the school staff sincerely appreciates their support and participation. Parents are invited to attend Back-to-School
Night in the fall, Open House in the spring, and a variety of parent information nights regarding graduation, college applications and financial aid.
Parent and community involvement are encouraged through PTSA and School Site Council. PTSA is very active at Murrieta Mesa providing daily
assistance on campus in the office, classrooms, and library, and with school activities such as tutoring, chaperoning dances, Red Ribbon Week,
Reflections, assemblies, and activities to enhance school spirit and Ram PRIDE. PTSA also helps MMHS provide student recognition for academic
success. PTSA provided snacks for sophomore students taking the CAHSEE in English and math.
Parents are involved in supporting band, choir, drama, and athletic teams. Mesa parents assist with fund-raising and student support during rehearsals,
programs, games, and other group activities. Mesa parents and students involved in our School Site Council help the school provide a quality education
program that includes our academies and pathways to help all of our students reach their dreams and goals.
The contact person for parent involvement and PTSA is Mesa’s PTSA president Doreen Fuentes. Anyone who is interested in assisting with PTSA
activities can leave a message for Doreen Fuentes at Murrieta Mesa High School at (951) 677-0568 or at [email protected].
State Priority: School Climate
The SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6):
•
•
•
Pupil suspension rates;
Pupil expulsion rates; and
Other local measures on the sense of safety.
School Safety Plan
School safety is a high priority at our school. Campus supervisors, administrators, counselors, and a school resource officer are on campus daily to
monitor the campus, supervise the students, and ensure a safe learning environment. Our computerized calling system, Blackboard Connect, is used to
call all families immediately in an emergency.
The district holds monthly safety meetings and our School Safety Staff works on our Safety Plan throughout the year. We have adopted a
Comprehensive School Safety Plan that we reviewed and revised in May 2014. The three identified safety concerns are traffic, bullying/fighting, and
healthy and safe lifestyles that exclude the use of drugs and alcohol. The plan is presented to all staff and parents, and we conduct student assemblies
to address safety issues.
Video surveillance cameras across our campus are a deterrent to trespassers, vandalism, and other illegal activities. They also help administrators with
discipline issues and help in the investigation of any crimes that occur on campus during the school day or after school hours, making our school safer
and more secure. Murrieta Mesa is a closed campus that is fully fenced and secured. Visitors must go through the school office for permission to be on
campus. The school uses a company that contracts with the district to provide unannounced canine searches of the campus for drugs, alcohol, and
weapons. The Spriego reporting system allows parents and students to report problems such as bullying and safety concerns online. The district has a
strictly enforced anti-discrimination policy that prohibits harassment of students or staff based on race, gender, disability, religion, or sexual
orientation.
To prepare for emergencies, evacuation drills are conducted regularly throughout the school year, and our school actively participates in the statewide
Great Shakeout. After each drill, we assess effectiveness and implement new procedures as needed. In addition, the school has an Emergency and
Disaster Preparedness Plan, which specifies procedures for dealing with fire, flood, earthquakes, lock downs, hazardous materials, disaster recovery
organization, and student accountability following a disaster and aligns with the NIMS emergency system. PTSA has provided emergency buckets for
disaster preparedness, and the goal is to provide each classroom with a bucket.

Types of Services Funded at Murrieta Mesa High School
The district provides a wide array of programs to meet the needs of our diverse student body. This includes programs to identify and support students
and their families through times of crisis and stress. A health technician, nurse, and psychologist are also available to meet with students.
The district provides an elementary counselor to our school approximately one day a week to support academic success. Counselors teach guidance
lessons and facilitate small groups on social skills, anger management, grief and loss, military support. They also provide individual responsive services,
interventions and referrals on an as needed basis.
Homework clubs, before- and after school tutoring programs, and extended learning opportunities during the summer break provide additional
support for students who need assistance with basic curriculum.
Professional Development provided for Teachers at Murrieta Mesa High School
All teachers in the district participate in ongoing professional development as a part of their commitment to being an educator. New teachers are
supported through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program, which allows them the time to reflect on their teaching practice
with the help of a mentor teacher.
Staff development is an important element of teacher development and community building. Teachers take part in staff meetings that are used for
instructional training and staff communication. Modified days are collaborative opportunities that are designed by teachers and focused on supporting
student learning. Staff development days are held three times throughout the year.
Key areas of focus for the 2014-2015 school year included Marzano strategies for writing, Thinking Maps, AVID strategies as well as WICOR strategies,
using technology effectively to support math and language arts, response to intervention, and Professional Learning Communities.
Students start school late every Monday so staff can meet in professional learning communities to discuss student achievement and learning.

Career Technical Education Programs
Graduates are prepared to enter the workforce based on their completion of a rigorous curriculum of core academic subjects. Students are required to
complete 40 hours of community service, which teaches them the importance of volunteer work and provides them with insight into different career
pathways.
CTE programs provide students 14 or older with free job training, high school credit, certificates of training, career planning, job search skills, and
preparation for higher level training. Murrieta Mesa offers CTE courses in culinary and hospitality. The district offers CTE courses in automotive
technology, law enforcement, and forensic science, and students have access to CTE courses offered out of the district. Through a partnership with Mt.
San Jacinto College (MSJC), students who successfully complete approved high school and CTE courses with a grade of B or better qualify for college
credit for the course.
Students take aptitude tests and sign up for the ASVAB for career aptitudes. Murrieta Mesa offers College and Career Pathways in Business and
Culinary, Engineering, Liberal Studies and Education, Medical, and Visual and Performing Arts to connect students’ learning with actual needs in our
state and nation’s economy. The pathways allow students to take required coursework for graduation as well as to take coursework in career areas of
interest.
Mesa houses a digital Oasis, a HP technology center with state-of-the art software that allows students to create, market, and sell personalized photo
collages, posters, calendars, photo books, and banners for teachers, clubs, parents, and other groups on and off campus. Our culinary kitchen allows
students to learn culinary and hospitality skills and apply those skills for community and school events on campus. Other classes, such as Multimedia,
Graphic Design, TV and Video Production, Accounting, Business Principles and Management, Sports and Entertainment Marketing, Drafting,
Engineering, Health Careers, Medical Terminology and Photography also give students skills for employment.
MMHS requires students to complete an integrated project at each grade level to help students prepare for the district’s Senior Exit Interview
graduation requirement. The freshman integrated project involves research of career choices, a “My Future” reflective essay and presentation.
Sophomores research a person in their field of interest and write an essay on how they can be successful in their career of choice. Juniors complete an
integrated project that raises their awareness of their medical and family history. They also discover how historical events have affected their family’s
lives, culture and career paths.
Seniors complete a Senior Exit Interview as a culmination of their grade-level integrated projects. Each senior student must successfully complete the
exit interview which is conducted before a select panel of staff and community members. The topic of this presentation style interview will allow for
each student to reflect on their high school experience and present their post high school plan.
