Middle School Night
Dear NHCA Middle School Families,
We are excited to invite you to our First Annual Middle School Night on Thursday, August 20th, beginning at 6:00 PM!
This evening is designed to give you the chance to walk your student's schedule, hear specifics about each of their classes, and get to know their teachers — building the kind of partnership that helps our students succeed. We hope every family will be able to join us!
Before you arrive: Come cheer on our Eagles as they take on Tipton Rosemark in volleyball! We'll head into the gym for our program immediately following the game.
One important thing to bring: please know the name of your student's Homeroom Teacher ahead of time. That's where you'll head right after our welcome in the gym, and knowing it in advance will help us keep everyone — parents included! — from getting lost as we move through the evening.

On March 5, we will host our annual Throwback Thursday for New Hope Alumni, themed 'Hoops for Hope' this year as we celebrate 30 years as an independent school!
This event marks a new milestone for our Advancement Team as it will be our first alumni-led fundraiser, featuring a 3x3 basketball tournament played on our new gym floors! Alumni will be invited to pay to play, making this both a fun, high-energy night of connection and an intentional step toward growing alumni giving and engagement.
In addition to the tournament, the evening will bring alumni back to campus for fellowship, nostalgia, and celebration as part of our 30th Anniversary year!
