The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) and Currency are proud to sponsor Believers & Achievers, a state-wide awards program that recognizes Nebraska’s future leaders. Believers & Achievers was designed to reward high school students in Nebraska for their excellence in academics and participation in NSAA activities. Those students who show a commitment to citizenship, school involvement and community projects will be honored in the Believers & Achievers program.

NSAA member schools were asked to nominate individuals to be honored. From those nominees submitted, Currency and the NSAA will select and honor 48 high school seniors throughout the 2025-26 academic year. A poster will be produced and sent to each member high school for display. The 48 individuals selected will be honored with an award at an NSAA Championship. All 48 Believers & Achievers will be invited to attend an end-of-the-year banquet, celebrating their achievements. During the banquet, Currency will announce individual scholarship winners.

Congratulations to our Rock County Public School winners. They have moved on to be considered as one of the top 48 students to be selected and honored by Currency and the NSAA.
