New Orleans Guide to High School and Beyond 2018

NEW HARMONY HIGH SCHOOL (New School)
Public Charter | Grades: 9th
www.newharmonyhigh.org
MISSION STATEMENT: New Harmony High School empowers each student to actively direct their own
learning. As our name suggests, students will work to find new harmonies in order to restore balance
that has been lost in our coastal communities, finding new ways of sustaining ourselves in an
uncertain future. Each student works on relevant, rigorous projects, and engages with the community
through interest-based fellowships, working alongside mentors on real problems. Students graduate
as individuals who practice resilience and understand ecology – the interconnectedness of people,
land, air, and water. They are prepared for college, career, and beyond, knowing they have already
made a significant impact here in Louisiana.
