Alumni Support Office

The New Hope Alumni Support Office seeks to maintain and strengthen relationships with the New Hope Alumni by extending the vision of New Hope - equipping students with the tools necessary to serve as God's image-bearers while effectively pursuing high school graduation, a college education, and the vocation to which the Lord leads them.

The first class of students who completed the entire New Hope elementary program graduated from New Hope in 2003. As these students continued their education through middle and high school, representatives from New Hope kept in touch! As our Alumni have grown, so has our Alumni Support Office. We now have watched 21 classes of students graduate from New Hope. It has been a privilege to walk with them through high school graduation, and college, and as they’ve started careers and families of their own. It is an honor to have had Alumni return to New Hope as volunteers, speakers, teachers, and Board members.

6th Grade Corner

New Hope Families,

We want to ensure that your child's transition to middle school is smooth and successful. Our Alumni support office is dedicated to assisting 5th and 6th-grade students and families through various channels, including group sessions, small group meetings, and individual consultations. We provide valuable information on middle school options, admission procedures, and the New Hope Scholarship program.

Navigating the academic landscape can be complex, and we are here to guide you in understanding appropriate academic options, financial obligations at independent schools, and the financial aid process. Working closely with 6th-grade students, parents, and the teaching team, we monitor academic progress, attendance, and behavioral standing, ensuring a supportive environment for your child.

We are excited to embark on this journey with you and your child, providing the support and resources needed for a successful transition to middle school.
