The Grand Tracadie Home and School Association had been in operation since 1962. From 1980 on, Stanhope and Grand Tracadie Schools have been “Twinned”; grades 1, 2 and 3 at Stanhope, and grades 4, 5 and 6 at Grand Tracadie. It was decided that the Home and School Associations should be amalgamated; on March 24, 1980 the first joint meeting of the Stanhope and Grand Tracadie Home and School Associations was held, and in the fall of that year the two associations were amalgamated.

The Stanhope-Grand Tracadie Home and School Association meets on the first Monday of every second month; the membership fee is $3.00 per family. Weekly card parties are held at Grand Tracadie School, with proceeds to the school libraries. Donations of new or used books for the libraries are being made by area residents. New swings have been constructed for the Stanhope School playground, and old equipment renovated, with the help of a grant from the North Shore Community, matched by the Home and School Association. Officers of the Stanhope-Grand Tracadie Home and School Association in 1984 were:
