New Hope School has been in existence since 1923. At it's inception, the school was made up of
grades 1-12 and was a combination of five smaller schools. In 1923, the school consisted of 10
classrooms, library, cafeteria, principal's office, and eight faculty members. Since its beginning, New
Hope School has made at least four additions to its original campus.

At this time, the New Hope campus houses three schools in five seperate buildings. We have a total
of 86 certified faculty members in the elementary school, 42 in the middle school, and 45 in the high
school. The total current enrollment is approximately 3300 students.
