KIDS TALK BACK

We asked Newport Harbor High School students about the state of their

school’s facilities. Here’s what they had to say:

“I think the buildings are fine. I think they should spend the money on

getting more teachers.”MARLON HERNANDEZ, 18

Costa Mesa

“The bathrooms are pretty bad. They are not taken care of. They smell and

they are always out of toilet paper. The toilets overflow.”

MISSY CARTER, 15

Newport Beach

“The P.E. locker rooms smell really bad. The lockers have mold growing in

them. It’s disgusting. They need to be cleaned up.”SATIA ABBOTT, 14

Newport Beach

“There is no soap in the bathrooms. Most of the clocks in the

classrooms don’t work. The loudspeaker doesn’t work in some of the

classrooms.”

SIAVASH BONAKDAR, 16

Costa Mesa

“The lockers are in bad condition. They are old and dented. The clip for

locks is missing from some. Some don’t close, some don’t open.”

WHITNEY BARFIELD, 15

Newport Beach

“There is graffiti in different places and there is trash around the

track sometimes. They do clean the stands, but they need to clean up

around the track.”
