Welcome BBQ

Where Our Community Comes Together

Before the first class of the year, before the first lesson is taught, our community comes together. The Welcome BBQ is a cherished NCA tradition that kicks off our school year with laughter, connection, and the start of many new friendships.

It’s a simple gathering that represents something essential to our school: a commitment to being a warm and welcoming place for everyone. This is where our entire NCA family—students, staff, and their parents—can connect in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. It’s where a shared walk to the event can spark a friendship that lasts all year, and where returning students make sure our new students feel like they belong from day one. For many, it's the first time they truly feel the spirit of NCA and know they are exactly where they are meant to be.

"My Nancy Campbell experience began at the welcome barbeque... three sweet NCA girls came up to me and my brother, who were sitting alone, and introduced themselves. They made us feel incredibly welcomed, and in that moment, I knew I was exactly where I wanted to be."
