Students who are currently enrolled in the 10th and 11th grades are eligible to apply. Now in its fifth year of operation, the school is designed for high-potential, underachieving high school students. It's a collaborative effort between OCC and the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Classes are open to high school students from throughout Orange County.
A total of 110 high school juniors and seniors are enrolled in the program this year. More than 50 students are ticketed to graduate during the Middle College High School's third commencement ceremony, on Thursday, May 31, at 3 p.m. on OCC's campus. We offer a small-school environment, with all the classes necessary for students to earn their high school diploma. Our students are also eligible to enroll concurrently in credit courses offered by Orange Coast College. The program is funded by Orange Coast College and the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
