The New City School is pleased to announce that Thomas R. Hoerr, Ph.D. has agreed to a two-year contract renewal as Director of the School. Hoerr joined New City in 1981 after serving as a principal in the University City School District. Under Hoerr’s leadership, New City became the first independent elementary school in the nation and the first school in Missouri to receive Instructor Magazine’s A+ Award. New City’s philosophy emphasizes a balance among academics, ambience, and student diversity, making the School a place where, according to Hoerr, “kids come first” New City was founded in 1969 in response to a parent-felt need for a quality neighborhood school. Parents joined together in a dedicated effort to establish a school that would not only contribute to life in the Central West End, but would encourage independent thought and an enjoyment of learning for all children. . Today New City School is the largest independent elementary school in the metropolitan area, with 286 students attending from 36 Zip codes. Sixteen years after its beginning New City continues its dedication to this original purpose and is very proud to announce the continued leadership of Thomas R. Hoerr.
