History
New Hope-Solebury High School first started as a one-building school in the late 1800s. The school housed roughly 20 students from grades K-12 and educated them on academic subjects from math and science to agriculture and farming. However as the township of Solebury grew, the need for a larger school was evident. Thus the building of the New Hope-Solebury School system began. Currently, the district has four school buildings and hundreds of acres of land.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
