NMUSD 60th Anniversary (1966-2026)

July 1, 1966, marked the beginning of a unified educational community serving Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. Formed from the merger of the Costa Mesa Union School District, the Newport Beach City School District, and the Newport Harbor Union High School District, the Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD) started out with a simple but ambitious goal: provide a strong, cohesive educational system for every student in the growing region.
