Students! Do you like competition? Do you like to share your skills with others who have the same interests? Do you like to show off what you know? Mid Plains Inter-High Day is the event for YOU! Inter High Day is a fun filled day where high schools get together to test and showcase their skills and knowledge of the different academic, artistic, and technical/trade topics. You will also have a chance to earn scholarships and awards! These competitions are open to ALL grade levels, so it is a fun opportunity for YOU to learn more about the skills YOU love. The event is all day February 22nd at MPCC. If you are interested, find Mrs. Quiroz in the Counseling Office to learn more by Monday, February 5th!
On February 8th, we will be hosting the first of the two spring parent-teacher conference events at North Platte High School. We hope you come up to the school to discuss your child’s education with their teachers.
Our counseling team has organized some additional information and presentations for the evening. Our goal is to create an evening that will inform parents and students about current courses and help plan for the future. The event will begin at 4:30 pm and wrap up at 8:00 pm sharp.
