What is the Strategic Plan?

The NTPS Strategic Plan provides a road map that guides all our work. It clearly defines the goals and outcomes for our students with specific measures which are reported to our Board of Directors. This amazing plan was created by several committees that included students, staff, community members, parents, and leadership. To learn more about our work and understand our District’s vision for our students please access the Strategic Plan documents below. Updated July 2022.
