A Message from the Principal

It is my privilege to welcome you to another outstanding year at New Hope Upper Elementary School! Serving more than 600 students in grades 3–5, our school is a place where curiosity, effort, and character are at the heart of everything we do. Each day, our dedicated teachers and staff work to create a supportive environment where every child is encouraged to think critically, act responsibly, and grow confidently.

At New Hope Upper Elementary, our motto, “Learn to Lead,” guides our mission. We believe that every student has the potential to be a leader—both in the classroom and in the community. Through meaningful learning experiences, collaboration, and positive relationships, we strive to help each child develop the skills and confidence needed to lead with integrity and purpose.

We know that our success is built on strong partnerships between home and school. Your involvement—whether through communication, participation, or encouragement at home—makes a tremendous impact on your child’s growth. Together, we can ensure that every student not only achieves academically but also learns to lead with kindness, respect, and resilience.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. I am honored to serve this incredible community and look forward to another year of learning, leadership, and success.

Ever Forward,
Andrew Edwards
Principal, New Hope Upper Elementary School
