My husband and I moved to Chattanooga and bought a house zoned for NP because we heard about the wonderful principal, teachers, staff and exceptional parent involvement. If you want your children to go to this school then do the same. The zoning should not continue to expand. Not everyone's children in the North Chattanooga area can go to this school; it's sad but a fact. The school is already busting at the seams and for people like me (pregnant with my first child due in July), the school will be overcrowded when we need it. This is exactly why the school board delayed adding the Hill City streets. The people who live in the area need to raise our kids at our school. And I agree with an earlier post, haters will always hate. Others are very jealous of the success and the pride the teachers take in their jobs and in the children at NP. Others continue to speak hate about the NP parents because of the vehicles they drive or the jobs they work VERY HARD at everyday! Wow, if that is how small-minded and low class you are, I feel REALLY sorry for your children who are learning from you and your behavior. They don't stand a chance in this world with an attitude like yours. And they will never amount to anything because you teach them to blame others for working hard and becoming successful. If you people who hate NP so much spent as much time focusing your energy on your own child's school and the needs of their schools, you would be in a much better place. Make it happen at your own school. It can be done! Demand better teachers and get involved! There is no reason why every school in this area can't be as wonderful.

I will say this again...just in case it was not heard....Rhonda Thurman is jealous of Chattanooga......She have no children in the systems...the woman have a disdain for Chattanooga.....What she need to do is go ...get herself a basic education....then enter night school and at aleast acheave a 2yr college degree.....leave us alone in Chattanooga......GO!GO!GO!GO!GO!
