The New Hope-Solebury School District proudly announces the induction of three distinguished individuals into its 2025 Hall of Fame, honoring their exceptional service, leadership, and alignment with the district’s Profile of a Graduate. This annual recognition celebrates those whose lives and work exemplify the core values the District aims to instill in every student: integrity, creativity, resilience, curiosity, confidence, global responsibility, social and emotional intelligence, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
This year’s honorees—Ms. Pamela Kerr, Ms. Kathy Feehan, and Mr. Dudley Rice—have each made a profound and lasting impact on the New Hope-Solebury community and beyond.
“For each of our honorees, a passion for service has guided their actions, creativity has opened new doors and fostered strong connections, and resilience has propelled them to face challenges head-on to do what is right,” shared Dr. Charles Lentz, New Hope-Solebury School District superintendent. “They have remained curious, acted with confidence, and demonstrated a deep sense of responsibility to the world around them. Through their ability to connect, think critically, and work alongside others, they have made a lasting impact—one that extends beyond the walls of our schools and into our community.”
Ms. Pamela Kerr, a proud New Hope-Solebury alumna, was honored for her passionate advocacy in the arts, environmental stewardship, and support of nonprofit causes. Her distinguished career in domestic violence counseling and her ability to build bridges among the District, community organizations, and government entities have left an enduring legacy of compassion and civic engagement.
Ms. Kathy Feehan, a devoted volunteer and steadfast supporter of New Hope-Solebury students, has contributed over 15 years of service to the District across academics, athletics, and extracurricular programs. Renowned for her “students-first” philosophy, her leadership and generosity have served as pillars of support for the Lion community and enriched countless student experiences.
Mr. Dudley Rice, a fellow alumnus and this year’s community honoree, has dedicated nearly 30 years as Director of Parks and Recreation for Solebury Township. His unwavering commitment to youth programming, public safety, and community enrichment has fostered deep, lasting connections among families and strengthened the fabric of civic life in our region.
The District extends its sincere congratulations and heartfelt gratitude to these exceptional individuals for their inspiring contributions and enduring commitment to service.
