New Garden Friends School Alumni and Friends

We love seeing our alumni doing amazing things!

Tonight, Eli Fribush (Alum 8th) is the featured performer at Sunset Sessions ~ Live Music By The Fire Pit, hosted by Grandover Resort. Eli attended New Garden Friends School from Sunrise through Middle School, and many faculty, staff, and community members remember him fondly from his years at NGFS.

If you’re attending tonight, be sure to stop by and support an NGFS alum. Break a leg, Eli!

Free live music this Saturday!!

The Goodbye Horses will be performing at Oden Brewing Company on April 25 from 3–6PM (set time begins around 4:30PM).

The band’s latest set features new music and a new addition to the lineup, with NGFS alum Jackson Buchanan joining on guitar. The show also includes an opening performance by singer-songwriter and poet Randolph Thomas.

Family-friendly atmosphere, great live music, and a food truck on site. Stop by if you’re in the area!

A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Cameron Cochran, a member of NGFS’s very first high school graduating class! She shared how experiential education shaped her journey. While at NGFS, she spent each Friday volunteering at a Greensboro service center. That experience opened her eyes to community needs and played a key role in shaping the professional path she would later follow.

We are so proud of Cameron and the journey she has taken since her time at NGFS, and we are grateful to have her as a part of our community!

You can read more about Cameron’s journey in our upcoming summer alumni newsletter. If you’re interested in being featured, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send us a message!

Friday night was one for the books 🎶✨
NGFS alum, Eric Moran and his band “The Get Go” delivered an incredible performance at our “Are You Smarter Than an NGFS Student?” fundraiser. From the first jazzy note, they set the tone for an evening filled with energy, warmth, and community spirit. We’re so lucky to have talented alumni who come back to share their gifts, reconnect with old friends, and pour into the community that helped shape them. 💛

NGFS Alumni: we’d love to highlight you!

As we prepare our Summer Alumni Newsletter, we’re inviting graduates to share where life has taken you and how your NGFS experience continues to shape your path. From professional milestones to community impact, creative work to personal growth, your story reflects the values that make this school community so special.
