Building Our Future at NTPS
-
Our buildings are the foundation of what we do at NTPS. Our community has consistently voted to support us through Bond initiatives to improve our school facilities and give NTPS students the places they need to achieve their goals. See the latest updates below and read more about construction plans and progress throughout the district.
Construction in our district is overseen by our Construction & Design Department, with guidance and input from our Facilities Advisory Committee.
