Since 2010, The North Platte Public Schools Foundation has awarded NPPS employees scholarships for their continued education. The Foundation is pleased to announce that we are awarding six staff scholarships this year. “We had some excellent candidates this year all worthy of a scholarship.” Said Jodi Howard NPPSF Director. “This is a completely staff driven campaign and we love to see the generosity of our staff who give to the “Class Act” fund in order to make these awards possible.”
