Reunions at NPHS
Ever wonder what that nerdy kid with the glasses is doing today? Does he now control all banking in North America and parts of Asia? Don’t wait to find out…come to your reunion. North Platte Public Schools Foundation is pleased to help NPHS graduates with their reunions. We help class organizers at all stages of planning and help classmates have a central location to update their information. All for the low, low price of FREE!

If you know that your class reunion is coming, please update your information with the Foundation. We have an alumni database that we keep for the classes. There is an electronic form to update your information at the bottom of the alumni page at nppsf.org. Please remember to include both married and maiden names. Email addresses are very important to update as many classes are doing their primary contacts through email. Also, if you hear of a classmate that is deceased, please send us a note so that we may share that with the class.
We will be starting an alumni blog. This will be a place you can go into through our Foundation website and share your news with classmates. Since this is a public forum, do not share any information that you would not want “everyone” to know. This is a terrific way to keep touch between reunions and connect with school mates that were in other classes. Click on link below for NPHS blog.

The earlier we can help class organizers, the better! We have several ways of helping you start planning. We can send you copy of our reunion tool kit or you can download it from this website.
Do not wait to be part of your class gathering…get your information updated today!
