Who is New Hampton School?
New Hampton School was one of the first privately endowed schools in New Hampshire. On June 17, 1821, William B. Kelley, Nathaniel Norris, and seventeen associates received a charter for New Hampton Academy in order to provide a general secondary educational for local boys and girls and for others who wished to board. By September 17, 1821, when the first term began, the construction of a 24 x 32-foot frame building — heated by an open fireplace, furnished with unpainted seats and desks, and containing no library, no equipment, and no blackboards — was almost completed. More than 50 students enrolled that fall (at $3.00 tuition per term), about one third of them Boston boys who boarded with townspeople (for $1.00 to $1.38 per week). During a renaissance period at New Hampton, Mr. Menke guided the School through a comprehensive strategic planning process, began the most ambitious capital campaign in the institution’s history, helped make New Hampton the first boarding school in New England to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, and introduced iPads into the curriculum.
