Our School
Welcome to New Hope HS
Tribe Pride surrounds you when you enter the doors of New Hope High School. Emblazoned with the school logo and words of inspiration, the main office and entry halls set the stage for the work of a dedicated faculty and student body. Every day, morning announcements end with the familiar “GO INDIANS!,” and spirit wear abounds in the halls, classrooms, and offices. A community of multi-generational New Hope graduates and newly arrived families create a vibrant learning environment for all students. We are committed to Closing Gaps, Building Bridges, and Leaving Legacies.

In order to fulfill our fundamental purpose and become the school we describe in our

Professional Learning Community as a whole. - I will protect instructional time by structuring the entire period for maximum learning and
avoiding class interruptions as much as possible. - I will teach the essential skills/standards of our agreed-upon curriculum, course by
course, unit by unit. - I will monitor each student’s learning on an ongoing basis through classroom and
team-developed assessments (formative and summative). - I will use evidence of student learning to inform and improve my practice and to better
meet the needs of individual students. - I will seek and implement the most promising practices to promote success for all
students. - I will develop, implement, and evaluate plans, as necessary, to target specific areas in
order to achieve the school goals. - I will engage in job-embedded staff development and additional content-specific

About New Hope High School
The first established New Hope Public School was opened in 1920. As enrollment has increased over the years, many new structures have been built to lead us to where we are today. In 1958, a new high school structure was added that currently houses NHS' middle school classes. In 1999, a new high school was built. An aspect of our campus that we find unique is that we share our campus with feeder school, New Hope Elementary. This arrangement lends itself to building a cohesive community environment.
