At New Heights, we believe the best antidote to the array of problems facing Seacoast adolescents today lies in providing them with safe, challenging, fun activities in a well-supervised environment by trained, caring, energetic adults.

Thanks to our supporters, New Heights programs are accessible to all adolescents, regardless of family economic status. Ongoing opportunities for participants include outdoor adventure, music, art, cooking, gardening, nature exploration, athletics, non-electronic games, and trips to local attractions and events. At the ever-popular Teen Center "hang-time" participants can relax after school with friends to enjoy a game of pool, air hockey, ping pong, or just sit and chat. Below is a listing of some of the programs we have available throughout the year.
There is a nominal membership fee to attend the New Heights after school program. Some off site trips may require an additional fee to participate. Those fees will be listed in our New Heights bi-monthly calendar. Transportation is provided after school from Portsmouth Middle School to New Heights via school bus and from the high school by van.

Transportation Policy:
During the school year, participants coming from the Portsmouth Middle School can ride a school bus that will bring them directly to the Community Campus. The New Heights van will also pick up high school participants daily outside of the Portsmouth High School. Participants can be dropped off by parents as early as 2:15 pm and must be picked up by 5:30 pm.
Parents are expected to provide transportation home.
Parent/Guardian Sign out:
Parents and guardians are asked to sign out participants when picking up their child. The sign out clipboard will be located at the activities desk. All participants must have a list of authorized escorts (other than a parent or guardian) who may pick them up on file in the office.
Late Pick-Up Policy:
Pick-up time is 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm. Any minute after 5:30 pm will be a $1 per minute charge. We understand that at times emergencies may arise, however we expect adequate, timely communication about these circumstances. Payments must be made on, or prior to, their next attendance at New Heights.
New Heights Snack Shack:
Open daily at 2:30pm, participants can purchase low cost, healthy snacks and drinks for their refreshment. Prices range from $0.25 to $2.00 per item.
Special Trips:
New Heights works hard to offer programs for participants when there is no school according to the Portsmouth School District. Some of these trips have costs associated with them and vary in length and ability level. These days are listed on the calendar and require participants to pre-register and pay prior to day of trip. Trips close two days prior at 5:30 pm. Staff will call with trip details.
Scholarship Applications:
At New Heights we want all adolescents to have the chance to attend our programs. If you need further financial assistance please call Mallory Sweeney at 422.8235 for a Scholarship Application.
