Meet Our Principal

A Message from the Helm

Dear Newell Barney College Prep Families,

Welcome to Newell Barney College Prep, home of the Buccaneers!

I am honored to serve as the principal of such a proud school community. From the moment I stepped onto campus, it was clear that NBCP has a strong tradition of academic excellence, dedicated educators, supportive families, and students who are capable of incredible things. I am excited to build on that tradition as we begin this next chapter together.

At Newell Barney College Prep, we believe every student deserves an environment where they are challenged academically, supported personally, and encouraged to grow into confident, compassionate leaders. Our commitment is simple: to provide Excellence in Every Experience. That means creating meaningful learning opportunities in every classroom, fostering positive relationships, celebrating student success, and maintaining high expectations that prepare students for high school, college, career, and life.

I firmly believe that schools are strongest when educators and families work together. Your partnership matters. Whether it’s staying connected through school communications, attending events, supporting learning at home, volunteering on campus, or simply encouraging your child to do their best each day, your involvement plays an important role in your student’s success.

NBCP offers something for every student. From rigorous academics and advanced coursework to athletics, fine arts, clubs, and leadership opportunities, we want every Buccaneer to discover their passions, build meaningful connections, and find a place to belong.

As principal, I believe in being visible, approachable, and engaged with our students, staff, and families. My door is always open, and I look forward to getting to know each of you throughout the school year. Together, we will celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and continue building a school culture where every student feels known, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child each day. It is a responsibility we take seriously and a privilege we are honored to have.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about the many opportunities available at Newell Barney College Prep. We look forward to partnering with you for an outstanding school year.

Go Buccaneers!

Dr. Kim Higginbotham, Principal
