Employee Recognition
In January of 2000, the Newport-Mesa Unified School District implemented the PRIDE employee recognition program (Proudly Recognizing Individuals Demonstrating Excellence). The Super-Star Awards program evolved from input by members of the community, District employees, and from the Board of Education's original PRIDE program.
The program was designed to recognize employees whose outstanding performance contributes to or enhances the District’s mission to graduate students who have acquired the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to achieve significant career, educational, civic, and personal goals, which will enrich our society. Celebrating excellence is an important part of the Board of Education's recognition of the contribution made by the employees of the NMUSD.
Information regarding future nominations is yet to be determined.
NMUSD participates in the Orange County Department of Education Classified Employee of the Year (CSEY) recognition program. The CSEY program was created as a way to identify and honor exemplary California classified school employees.
The nomination categories are:
- Child Nutrition
- Maintenance and Operations
- Office and Technical
- Para-educator and Instructional Assistance
- Support Services and Security
- Transportation
All candidates must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Current permanent employee in a public preschool through grade twelve school district.

The Human Resources Department along with the Board of Education, recognizes the District Retirees for the school year at the second Board of Education Meeting in June.
