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:
“He thought that, because the community represents millions of people, therefore it must be millions of times more important than the individual, forgetting that the community is an abstraction from the many, and is not the many themselves.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
