Back in February, Newport High School students Carlos Reynoso and Joseph Mueller proudly represented us in the SkillsUSA regional carpentry competition! Under the guidance of their advisor, Mr. Hinson, they showcased their craftsmanship and technical skills alongside other top students in the region. We're proud of their hard work and dedication to the trades! 🛠️👏

🎉 Celebrating Two Incredible Careers! 🎉
This week, we gathered to honor the retirements of Irv Schulkers and Tim Grayson — two employees who have dedicated their hearts and talents to our school community. ❤️ 🐾
Thank you, Irv and Tim, for the wisdom, laughter, and care you've shared over the years. You’ve made a lasting impact, and you’ll be deeply missed!
Enjoy every moment of your well-earned retirement! ☀️



🎓✨ What a Day to Remember!✨🎓
Today, our hearts were full as the Class of 2025 took part in two powerful traditions:
🏈 Meet Me at the 50 – Seniors met the Class of 2037 on the 50-yard line in a beautiful passing of the torch. From tiny hands to graduation caps, this moment captured the spirit of community, legacy, and lifelong connection. ❤️
👟 Senior Walk – Our halls echoed with cheers and happy tears as seniors took their final walk through the schools, greeted by students and staff who have cheered them on every step of the way.
Thank you to everyone who made today unforgettable. Here's to the memories, the milestones, and the bright futures ahead! 🌟

Newport High Shines in Song!
Last Thursday’s band and choir concert at Newport High School was a fantastic showcase of student talent. From powerful vocals to impressive instrumental pieces, the night was filled with energy, skill, and school spirit. Bravo to all who performed!







We have been asked to share the following opportunity for this summer. Please see the flyer for more information.


7th and 8th Grade parents are invited to Awards Day. See below for more information.


Last week, we celebrated the real MVPs of our school day—our incredible cafeteria team! From early mornings and hot ovens to warm smiles and full bellies, our Lunch Heroes do it all.
They serve more than just meals—they serve kindness, encouragement, and a daily dose of comfort. Whether it’s remembering a favorite snack or brightening someone’s day with a cheerful “hello,” their impact goes far beyond the lunch line.
To our Lunch Heroes: thank you for nourishing our students with care, love, and a whole lot of heart. We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re so lucky to have you on our team!
Let’s give them a round of applause—and maybe even a high five in the cafeteria!







Today, Newport High School had the honor of hosting a Naturalization Ceremony with Judge David Bunning presiding.
In a moving and memorable event, individuals from around the world took the Oath of Allegiance and officially became United States citizens—right here in our school.
Our students and staff had the incredible opportunity to witness this powerful moment, reminding us all of the value of citizenship, the strength of diversity, and the promise of the American dream.
We are proud to have shared in this life-changing milestone and to welcome our newest citizens.
Congratulations—and welcome to Newport!
