New Hope Education Center

Today we celebrated the Class of 2025 with a senior walk at NHEC. Thankful for those who made it!
To those that could not, we are proud of you & wish you the absolute best!

We want to take a moment to recognize Jenny Forsyth and Elizabeth, the incredible administrative professionals who are truly the backbone of our building. From their separate offices, they orchestrate the constant rhythm of our school—managing the daily stream of students, parents, vendors, and community partners with calm, precision, and care. Their work goes far beyond the front desk; each of them juggles multiple roles while coordinating student movement not only within NHEC but across the entire district. Their ability to keep everything running smoothly is a testament to their skill and dedication. When they're not here, their absence is deeply felt—a reminder of just how essential and impactful they are to all of us. Thank you, Jenny and Elizabeth, for everything you do!

Good morning PCSD Families! We want to remind you next Friday, March 7th, is the final scheduled DLD for this school year.

This week is School Social Workers Week. We are so thankful for the PCSD school social workers that work so hard for our students!

Mrs. Jennifer Roberts won teacher of the year for NHEC. She is our PCCA Mechatronics teacher. Congratulations!!

With it being School Counselors Week, please take a moment to read the article below. Our own counselor, Dr. Powers, was highlighted by Mercer University.

Thank you for all you do, Dr. Powers!

PCSD Transportation and Maintenance staff have completed an inspection of school campuses and office facilities and have communicated with local public safety officials about the state of roadways. Following this inspection, all Paulding County schools and district offices will be open Monday, Jan. 13, 2025 for normal operations. We look forward to seeing students and staff in school on Monday!

NHEC will be closed on Friday January 10th due to inclement weather. Stay warm and safe!

Dear PCSD Community,
The National Weather Service is forecasting inclement weather likely to begin early Friday morning that will impact the Paulding County area. The forecast calls for the possible accumulation of several inches of frozen precipitation (which is likely to be an icy mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain), along with freezing temperatures and winds.

To ensure the safety of our students and staff, all Paulding County schools and district offices WILL BE CLOSED on Friday, January 10th. This is NOT a Digital Learning Day (DLD).

All instruction and after-school programs have been cancelled, including athletic events scheduled for Saturday, January 11th, and students and staff should remain home. Maintenance staff should contact their supervisor for direction. We will update you regarding school operations for Monday, January 13th, when conditions become known. Please stay safe and warm!
