Message from the Headmaster
 Great news - We’re filling up!
Thank you to the parents who have heeded the call to re-enroll. Currently, we are right on target with our re-enrollment process for the 2013-2014 school year and we’re glad to see such a great response. Knowing re-enrollment results truly helps us plan for our next school year.
We’ve had very encouraging results with our new student enrollments and applications. Right now, we have 35 newly enrolled students. An additional 24 have submitted applications and their files are now being reviewed by the admission committee. Also, 150 families representing 207 students have requested applications and information, thus beginning the process of tours, visits, and testing.
It is exciting to see our classes filling up. We are projecting that our Middle School will be full next year. Based on current activity, we expect two sections of each grade and the potential for a third 5th grade class.
This is all great news. We’re thankful for the confidence expressed by our current families and proud of the reputation North Cross has in our region. As Dr. Proctor often says, “This is a great time to be at North Cross Schoolâ€.
If you see a new face at one of the many school events we’re holding - introduce yourself. We’ve been inviting our newly admitted and inquiring families to join us and your hospitality will be welcomed. Every North Cross family was once in their shoes and now can serve as an ambassador of the school to welcome them.

Career Ends, Retirement Begins
 Bill Hodges came to North Cross School in August of 2011 as the Raiders’ head basketball coach. In 2012 he also joined the North Cross faculty as a history teacher. He came to work in the professions he loves—teaching and coaching. Hodges inherited a team whose record the previous season was two wins and 15 losses. Fast forward to May, 2013, and Hodges, with a fan club of students, players, and parents, has twice reached the final four of the state tournament, finishing runner-up in the 2013 VIS Division III basketball championship. Unfortunately for all of us, Coach Hodges has decided give up his teaching and coaching positions. Click here to read the whole story.
