Principal's Message

 

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As the new school year approaches, it is with great excitement and anticipation that I welcome you and your student(s) back to New Philadelphia High School for the 2025-2026 school year! Whether you are returning to us or joining our Quaker family for the first time, I want to thank you for being part of a community that values education, character, and strong partnerships.

This year, we will proudly serve over 800 students with the support and dedication of 75 outstanding educators and staff members. Each of us is committed to providing a safe, engaging, and academically rigorous environment where every student can thrive. At NPHS, we believe that education is a shared journey — one that requires collaboration between school, home, and the greater community.

Quaker Pride runs deep at NPHS. It’s more than school spirit; it’s a reflection of the values we uphold: respect, responsibility, hard work, and kindness. You’ll see this pride in our classrooms, on our athletic fields, through our music and arts programs, and in the way our students serve and lead.

We also continue to strengthen our community partnerships, which play a vital role in student success. Whether through mentoring programs, internship opportunities, or civic engagement, our connection with local organizations and families helps prepare students not only for graduation but for meaningful lives beyond high school.

As we head into the 2025–2026 school year, communication will remain a top priority. Please stay connected through our school website, social media, and Friday updates. And as always, I encourage you to reach out with questions. Together, we will make this year one of growth, achievement, and pride.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Let’s make this a remarkable year filled with success and Quaker Pride!

Respectfully, 
 

Ryan Range

Principal
