Newt’s News Fall 2026: Summer Recap and Fall Forward!

Greetings from New Roots! The air is crisp and the leaves are just beginning to turn color. It feels so good to settle back into the rhythms and routines of the school year! Now in our eighteenth year, those routines are both familiar and dynamically adapting to our new middle school. As we evolve, we remain firmly rooted in our mission, vision, and community values, engaging our young people in real-world learning experiences that put them on the path to meaningful lives after high school in a rapidly-changing world. Every facet of our school is designed to support every New Roots graduate in leaving high school ready for life with college credits, college acceptance, and a resume that gives them access to entry-level employment at a living wage, ready to live their life purposefully and well. This community’s collective contributions to “growing New Roots” over these many years have made this powerful vision a reality for our youth.
