Class of 1963
I left New Castle when I was 13 and just curious about a few friends that should have graduated from NeCa High in 63.
Our New Castle High School military alumni are some of the most outstanding people we know and this page recognizes them and everything they have done! Not everyone gets to come home for the holidays and we want our New Castle High School Military to know that they are loved and appreciated. All of us in New Castle are proud of our military alumni and want to thank them for risking their lives to protect our country!
