Community Involvement
Newbury Park High School has been aided by the generous donations of numerous sponsors around the community. Most notably, Amgen (formerly Applied Molecular Genetics), has been a key donor in helping build new state of the art facilities on campus. This includes a new FieldTurf football field and a performing arts center. Amgen has also provided the science department with a PCR lab kit, allowing students to experiment with DNA testing and microbiology.
SAGE Publications continues to donate generously to several academic programs at NPHS.
In addition, Newbury Park has received money from the new housing development Dos Vientos. In a controversial decision, revenues from the Dos Vientos community were split among the three high schools in the Conejo Valley, even though the majority of Dos Vientos students attend NPHS.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Even if you find yourself in a heated exchange with your toddler, it is better for your child to feel the heat rather than for him to feel you withdraw emotionally.... Active and emotional involvement between parent and child helps the child make the limits a part of himself.”
