Financial Literacy
The NPEF introduced a recurring grant to support Financial Literacy in honor of former Board Member, Denis Naughter. This was an area of study that Denis was truly passionate about, and we feel this is a meaningful way to contribute to the success of this program at NPHS and to remember our dear friend.
Dog Therapy Program
The NPEF awarded a BOE grant for the school district’s Therapy Dog program. This amazing program is focused on addressing the emotional needs and well-being of students in all our schools. A therapy dog is at each school on a regular basis to bring smiles and enhance the counseling programs.
Vernier GoDirect Probe
The Vernier Go Direct Probes allow high school and middle school students to conduct experiments and collect data that integrate with their school iPads in real-time. The probes are inline with the NGSS/NJSLS-Science standards and will allow students to more effectively learn these science and engineering skills.
Empowering Our Innovators: 3D Printing-STEM Class
The 3D printers are used by both high school and middle school students in the Architecture, Engineering, and Design and Modeling curriculums. The 3D models are created as prototypes and enhance the analysis and design processes in the classroom.
Video Camera
This grant provides high quality professional level video cameras for the high school’s Video Production Classes and various school events such as graduation. The video cameras enhance the production value and cinematography for students who compete at film festivals, art shows and other video competitions.
