This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Mr. Nash, who has been a dedicated member of our Deshler Dragon family for 17 years! That's nearly two decades of cheering on, coaching, teaching, encouraging, and helping our Dragons succeed! 🐉
Mr. Nash wears quite a few hats around Deshler Public Schools! He serves as our Athletic Director, K–5 P.E. Instructor, High School Boys Basketball Coach, and, as of 2026, our new Dean of Students! From teaching our youngest Dragons the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship to leading our high school athletes on the court and supporting students throughout the building, Mr. Nash makes an impact in just about every corner of our school!
We are grateful for the leadership, energy, and dedication he brings to so many different roles. Thank you, Mr. Nash, for all you do to keep our Dragons moving forward! 💜💛

With so much buzz surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI, parents may be wondering what the game includes and how to respond when their child asks to play.

We hope to see your child there!
SHOUT OUT TIME! I saw a social media post recognizing the amount of time that our kids put into their activities, and it is so true.
I don't think our students OR our educators get enough credit! I came to finish a few projects this weekend & the sponsors/students for One Act were here working. At 7 AM, you can find the FFA kids here practicing. I left after last night's board meeting, and again, there were athletes, coaches, and adult volunteers here working with kids.
Not every kid has found their niche, but so many kids involved in activities are here at the school putting in 12 hours a day, keeping their grades up, and leading our organizations. Those involved in some of our busiest extracurricular activities are about to be here even more when you factor in the "away" activities! And then there are the coaches/sponsors that are spending hours away from their families to help YOUR child find success in the activity they are sponsoring.
THANK YOU, to the students at DPS, to the educators, to our coaches/sponsors & to the parents supporting all of this! Working together to guide these kids into becoming respectful & responsible adults TOGETHER is awesome to witness!
We are looking forward to seeing all of our JH/HS parents at the NSAA meeting on Thu., Nov. 19th at 8 PM to help us continue to work together to best support our NSAA students in their activities!
GO DRAGONS! 💜

The NSAA is launching a one-year pilot program giving Nebraska high school students (grades 9-12) hands-on experience creating sports and activities video content at select state championship events. Selected creators will receive NSAA orientation and media training, event credentials, and the chance to post content on NSAA’s official social channels — plus the ability to use their work in personal portfolios.
Danica submitted a portfolio and two letters of reference in order to be selected and will attend orientation on Wednesday, November 11th in Lincoln.
Congratulations, Danica!
