We would like to welcome our new NCHS families! Hello! Welcome to high school life. Some of you have been asking about the SUPPLY LIST. As we have multiple classes, teachers will share their supply lists with students the first week of classes. Teachers will give your students about a week to get the specific items for their class. To be safe, having a notebook and a few pens/pencils would be a great way start to the year. Please understand that backpacks will only be allowed to and from school, and not be taken inside the classrooms. A large binder will suffice.

UPDATED: 6/2/25 Our New Castle family mourns the loss of a beloved Trojan, John Scott Griffith. A 1969 NCHS graduate, Mr. Griffith made New Castle his forever home. He taught in the Corporation for forty-five years as our NCMS Math Teacher, and strengthened #TrojanPride during his role as Athletic Director. As a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most prestigious academic honor society in the United States, John complimented our Corporation School Board values, where he faithfully served the past two and a half years. Dedicated to the growth and promotion of New Castle Schools, our students, families, staff, and community members have been positively changed by his extraordinary and generous life. Our honor and condolences go to his family in this difficult time. Thank you, Mr. Griffith, for nurturing young minds, fostering a passion for knowledge, and instilling a lifelong love of learning in every life you touched. You are, and forever will be, part of the great Trojan legacy. John Griffith’s family would like to welcome the New Castle Community to join them for his Visitation this Saturday, June 7, 2025 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at First Baptist Church Family Life Center (709 S. Memorial Dr. New Castle, IN 47362). The Celebration of Life will immediately follow: Saturday, June 7, 2025, 2:00-3:00 PM.

Congratulations to the Amman family! Lynae Amman has accepted the Wilbur Wright Principal position for the 2025-26 School Year! Lynae has served faithfully at Westwood as our Instructional Coach, and will replace our beloved retiring Principal, Jean Ann McAllister. The Ammans will be a two-principal parenting household!
