About NPHS & the Hurley

the Hurley HawkThe Hurley K–8 School, located at 70 Worcester Street in Boston’s South End, is one of only three dual-language immersion schools in the Boston Public Schools system. This innovative school serves the neighborhood’s racially, ethnically, and economically diverse population with a two-way bilingual program in which native English- and Spanish-speaking students learn together, experiencing the core academic curriculum in two languages, and gaining literacy and fluency in both English and Spanish.

Neighborhood Parents for the Hurley School is a group of parents and community members working with the Hurley K–8 to make it one of the best schools in Boston. NPHS supports the school by helping raise funds, developing partnerships with a variety of organizations, and working to bring the Hurley needed resources to enhance the educational experience of its students. Through the generosity of friends like you, NPHS’s efforts have enabled the school to hire a science specialist and librarian; fund anti-bullying education, mentoring, and test preparation; add music, theater, dance, and woodworking programs; restore the previously unusable gymnasium; create a school library; and transform a parking lot into an athletic field.

NPHS is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit, and all contributions are tax-deductable to the extent allowed by law.
