The North Platte Public Schools Foundation is excited to finally announce the winners of the Staff Awards from the 2019-2020 School Year.  Due to COVID the annual Education After Hours which would have been held in April 2020 was postponed and then finally canceled.  At the event the foundation recognizes Distinguished NPHS Alumni.  Those Alumni will be recognized at a later date.  There are awards for staff members in the North Platte Public School District who have been nominated by their peers, parents and the community.  These nominations are submitted from many people who appreciate what all staff do to enrich the lives of the students. We are thankful to our sponsors who make this happen. The Foundation Board decided it was time to celebrate the NPPSD Staff. It was time to take the awards to the staff.  Pulling off this surprise took some coordinations from the principals at four buildings, to the presenting this out on the NPPS Sunday Spotlight and finally someone to video.  The Foundation would like to thank all that assisted in making this happen.  A big shout out to Mr. Philep Willey who took his time and talent to get these moments on film.  Mr. Willey teaches Digital and Advanced Digital Media, Information Technology along with other things at NPHS. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students, staff, and parents & guardians for all your hard work and support in making North Platte Public Schools great!

Please check out this month's Superintendent Briefing for more information regarding the great things occurring in the district.

We recommend using a laptop or desktop computer web browser to register online. It is possible to register using a  smartphone or tablet device but will require some scrolling to fill in information.  Your web browser must be configured to allow popups from the site: campus.nppsd.org
