Welcome to Newport Public Schools:

Newport is a community rich in history and culture, making our city an international destination and a great place to live. The Newport schools are committed to each and every learner, by providing opportunities and access to the world to achieve  the best education possible so each child can reach his/her potential and beyond.   Whether it’s math or science, information technology, cybersecurity, sailing, tennis, the arts and music and more - Newport offers a wide range of curriculum and course offerings so children and young adults learn inside and outside the classroom making real world connections.

 As I reflect on the past few years, I am overwhelmed by the resiliency of our staff, students and families. Accomplishments of our teachers and staff are energized by the partnerships we have built within the community as well as at the state and national level.  As we build on these accomplishments, we will work together to continuously improve the quality of education for all students, ensuring each voice is heard and recognized so that learning is an active ongoing process.

We are excited to embark on construction of our new comprehensive state-of-the-art high school this fall and the opening of our new 8 classroom addition and Welcome Center at Pell Elementary School.  The goal for Newport Public Schools is to become a place where people want to work, students want to learn, and parents want to send their children.

I encourage you to visit our schools, meet our administrators, and learn more about who we are and where we are going.   The Newport Public Schools are your schools and we are here to serve you.

We are One Newport!
