New Castle Community Schools

My daughter Rylee will walk across the stage and graduate from Ivy Tech before she "officially" graduates high school! Our kids are very blessed to get these FREE opportunities from New Castle.

Thanks to the Pathways at NCHS our daughter, Madison McGilliard, finished her undergraduate degree in three years! Many of the required courses were met prior to college, and graduated with no debt!

My son Wyatt will graduate with an associates degree from Ivy Tech before he graduates from New Castle! Sam will have his first year of college complete through the engineering program and dual credit classes. Work-based learning allowed him to lock down a summer job!

Unquestionably, I attribute much of my adult continuing education, professional pathway, and personal successes to the education and opportunities obtained while in New Castle. NCCSC will always be a special place for me and many other successful alumni. Go Trojans!

My daughter, Emily, was part of the morning team at WKPW 90.7 FM, through the New Castle Career Center. Additionally, she earned several college credits towards Ball State University. I am convinced this educational experience laid the foundation for Emily’s success.

In the theatre and choral departments, I was encouraged to take risks and follow my instincts on stage, to be bold as a soloist and generous in an ensemble. I would not be the person or performer I am today if I hadn’t had the guidance and foundation of NCHS behind me.

The best opportunities I had at New Castle High School were the ones I was able to invent for myself with the help of a teacher or a community member. It takes a special type of environment that can foster this sense of community and an environment of opportunity.
