Seniors Take a Roaring Stroll Down Memory Lane

Newcastle hosted its first ever Senior Walk Through. Newcastle staff and students lined the hallways and gave high-fives and shout-outs to Liberty seniors that once walked the same hallways, as elementary students. They paraded through the whole school to the sound of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight,' their theme song.

Congrats 2025 Seniors! Once a Newcastle lion, always a Newcastle lion!

Principal Tod Wood

Meet Principal Tod Wood!

Hi, Newcastle families! One of the best things about being a principal is the opportunity to make a difference for an entire building -- there is nothing else like being able to support an entire group of adults focused on helping kids! A few fun facts about me: My favorite children’s book is “The Wizard of Oz.” I enjoy Alternative and Americana music. If I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be a really good bacon cheeseburger. On my travel bucket list: A visit to each of the 50 United States. I once wrote music and played guitar for a band called “When Worlds Collide.” (Don’t bother Googling it – we didn’t exactly hit the big-time!)
