9th Grade Focus: A Framework for Success at NPHS
This year, all NPHS 9th-grade students will participate in short, weekly lessons built directly into their core classes to support a successful transition to high school. Through our grade level framework, students will develop essential habits across three key areas.
- Academic Habits: Mastering study skills, note-taking, test prep, and time management.
- Engaged Learner Habits: Building self-advocacy, organization, focus, and collaboration skills.
- Mindset & Reflection: Fostering a growth mindset, goal-setting, and personal accountability.
Our lessons draw from a variety of resources, including Top 20 Teens lessons, the Be Good People curriculum, and short instructional videos from researchers focused on how the brain learns and how to study effectively.
By focusing on these core skills together as a school community, we aim to empower our freshmen with the tools, confidence, and routines they need to thrive at NPHS and beyond. Keep an eye out for our monthly family updates to see what your student is learning and how you can support these habits at home!
Duck Cup Memorial Presentation at New Prague High School
We look forward to hosting a speaker sponsored by the Duck Cup Memorial to present to all NPHS students about reducing the stigma associated with mental health. Presentations will occur on Tuesday, October 20th. This presentation is made possible by the Duck Cup Memorial Fund. The Duck Cup is a non-profit community group that was started by New Prague High School Alumni following the suicide of one of their classmates. Their goal is to raise awareness regarding suicide education and prevention. Please visit their website for more information. NPHS would like to thank the Duck Cup Memorial for their support of our students!

Additional information will be shared as we get closer to conferences.
