Our District
our vision
“To Inspire Today and Equip for Tomorrow”
Our vision statement emphasizes our desire for our students to be inspired to learn and achieve through the instruction they receive, the staff that they encounter, and the experiences they acquire during their time at Northern Lebanon. Furthermore, we will equip our students with the skills needed to investigate, think critically, and communicate effectively so that they can accomplish their goals at NL and beyond. Only then can we say that we have successfully educated and prepared our students.
our mission
It is the mission of NLSD to provide a learning environment that empowers our students to discover and pursue their educational interests and prepare them with solid academic skills to achieve their aspirations and make a positive impact in their communities.
