TeamMates Mentoring of Niobrara County provided ice cream for grades PK-6th at Field Day today!! Our older mentees visited with grades 3rd-6th about becoming a TeamMate mentee, what they do at match meetings, and what they like about TeamMates!! The kids loved it and had so many questions and interest in TeamMates!!
I know the school year is almost over; however, you can still sign your child up online, and they can begin meeting with their mentor in the first couple of weeks next school year!! The link to sign up is below: https://teammates.civicore.com/index.php?section=menteeApplication&action=new

Today our seniors walked the halls of the elementary school and the middle/high school! Tomorrow is their last day and then graduation on Sunday! Getting close Class of 2026!
Senior Signings took place last Wednesday. This event is an opportunity to celebrate our seniors and their next steps in life. Some of our seniors will be attending college, others will be pursuing career and technical education degrees, and some will be entering the workforce.
The event also provided an opportunity for several organizations to present scholarships to graduating seniors in recognition of their hard work and accomplishments.
Best wishes to the NCHS Class of 2026 as you begin your next great adventure!
Last week, FBLA and FCCLA hosted the Career Technical/Club Showcase Night, and the evening was a huge success! More than 100 people came out to enjoy delicious food and learn more about the Career Technical classes and clubsat NCHS.
Guests were able to tour the welding shop to check out this year’s projects and see the new equipment. The Entrepreneurship class also had their student-run business, The Sweet Sip, set up selling fancy sodas while sharing everything they learned this year in Accounting 3/4. FBLA and FCCLA National qualifiers were able to present their projects headed to Nationals this summer in San Antique, TX and Washington D.C.
Outside, students talked about the new CDL certification class being offered at NCHS this year. Four students worked hard to earn their certifications before graduation, showcasing the opportunities available through Career Technical Education.
All in all, it was a terrific night showcasing the amazing learning and opportunities happening at Niobrara County High School!
