On behalf of the NTPA, welcome to senior year. The NTPA’s mission is to promote connections, provide communication and present opportunities for parents that support and enhance the New Trier experience.
This page will be maintained with updates and links to serve as one-stop shopping for parents’ needs. Information and conversation also can be found on the New Trier Parents Facebook page. And be on the lookout for emails from the NTPA regarding parent coffees and programs.

Graduation Party
Planning for the Class of 2025 Graduation Party is underway! Interested in helping?
- Please consider making a donation: More than 90% of seniors attend the Grad Party — that’s about 800 students! It’s a fun and safe night for our graduates, but funding is required to cover necessary expenses such as food, entertainment, security, etc. Please consider donating so we can make this an unforgettable night for our seniors.
- If you’re interested in being a volunteer, add your name to the 2025 NT Grad Party Volunteer Interest Form, and we’ll reach out when needs emerge.
- Also, please follow us on Instagram and Facebook @2025ntgradparty to keep up with announcements.
- The Grad Party theme will be revealed in March.
Graduation
Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 1, for graduation! The ceremony will take place at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates (5333 Prairie Stone Parkway), starting at 3 p.m. A commencement website will be up and running in January. In February, students will be asked for the phonetic pronunciation of their names in advisery. An email with complete details, including tickets (eight per student), will be sent before spring break.
Senior Class Service Project
Student leaders of the Class of 2025 have officially begun their Senior Class Service Project: Serve With DigNiTy. Through a partnership with Salute, Inc., and Midwest Veterans Closet, seniors will live by our motto — to commit minds to inquiry, hearts to compassion and lives to the service of humanity — in various ways throughout the year. Click here for the Serve With DigNiTy Instagram page, and please follow.
