Welcome

Mission Valley ROP is a provider of career training for high tech, high pay and high demand fields! Keeping current with today’s standards, Mission Valley ROP is able to provide our high school students with professional video, graphic, and photography equipment, but so far our only output has been the internet.

Students should have the opportunity to experience their art with a live audience. Multimedia Fest 2008 will provide that outlet for Bay Area high school students, and allow our community to both experience and support their work. With the success of this event, future festivals will expand to eventually include a state-wide exhibition. At Mission Valley ROP, we believe in one common objective-helping our students develop to their full potential!
