Memorial Grove at NAHS
Memorial Grove Dedication
Remember, Reflect, Renew
Welcome to the website for the Memorial Grove project at New Albany High School. This project was led by the National Honor Society at NAHS to design and rebuild the Memorial Grove to honor students and staff that we have lost in our learning community. Items from the original Memorial Grove were secured and preserved to be added to the new Grove as it was developed.
Memorial Grove was designed to be a place for everyone on the New Albany - Plain Local Schools Campus. In addition to being a place where we can honor the memory of those we have lost, the space is designed to accommodate outdoor learning and provide a place for groups to meet.
In addition to the giving campaign, NHS students sought out sponsorships and grant-funded opportunities in the community. The Memorial Grove provided experiences for several years of NHS officers to help in the overall marketing/fundraising campaign between 2020 and 2023 when the Grove was dedicated. NHS officers also took the initiative to work with the New Albany Chamber of Commerce to develop presentations to local business partners to seek support for the Memorial Grove project! It was the students of NHS goal to leave this as a legacy of their time at New Albany High School.
Updated Memorial Grove offers remembrance and learning
Last September New Albany High School’s (NAHS) National Honor Society (NHS) dedicated its updated Memorial Grove as a place of remembrance for students, staff and community members. The new grove is four and a half years in the making, and a wonderful addition to the learning spaces on the NAHS campus with plenty of health benefits as well.
