Every school district has teachers, administrators and students that go above and beyond what is expected of them.

Teachers that spend extra time with students, or plan fun field trips. Administrators that lead by example. Students that do the same, sometimes against the odds.

They answer the call every single day, because they care. They’re the backbones of our public schools.

Remember when you were in school? We all had a teacher that played a special role in who we grew up to be. Nebraska-Advantage wants to bring recognition to these educators and these students.

These are the people we want to hear about. These are the stories we want to tell.

We can’t do it without your help. So, we’re calling on all Nebraska public schools for story ideas, tips and nominations. If there’s something amazing going on in your hometown school, tell us about it.

If you haven’t already, follow us on Twitter (@NEAdvantage) and give our Facebook page (Nebraska Public School Advantage) a like. You can reach us with those story tips there, or through email at News@NCSA.org.
