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!

Niobrara County Families,
Our goal is to keep students safe, supported, and prepared for success. One way we do that is through the Prevention Needs Assessment (PNA) survey from the Wyoming Department of Health.
This anonymous survey helps us understand what students in our community are experiencing so we can make informed decisions about programs and resources. It has directly supported efforts like Sources of Strength, Botvin LifeSkills for freshmen, and potential expansion of mentoring programs like Teammates.
We understand some questions may feel sensitive. Please know the survey is:
✔️ Anonymous (no names attached)
✔️ Research-based and used across Wyoming
✔️ Focused on prevention and student support
📅 Survey Dates:
• May 12 – 8th, 10th, and 12th grades
• May 14 – 6th grade
Parent choice is important. You may opt your child out at any time by contacting the school.
Here is the link to the website for all information concerning the survey: https://pnasurvey.org/
