Dr. Joel addresses NSP school graduates

Congratulations to the 18 men who graduated from the Nebraska State Penitentiary School on May 6th, 2019. Graduates encompassed men who either completed GEDs or finished their high school curriculum while incarcerated. Each graduate overcame numerous barriers on their unique journey towards completion.

“I am honored to be associated with such tenacious students as well as the teachers who encourage them,” said NDCS High School Principal Susan Harder.

Lincoln Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Steve Joel was the honored keynote speaker for the ceremony. Joel shared a baseball analogy and reminded them to “swing hard” in order to succeed in reaching their goals.
