NPZ Makes the News Maybe you already get your daily school news from NPZ on the New Paltz High School (NPHS) homepage. Or perhaps this is the first time you’re learning about it.
Either way, NPZ is thoroughly newsworthy. Every school day, students anchor a short, entertaining broadcast which typically includes school news, weather, sports, and club updates. They also feature a brief, student-produced film or video; the most recent video shorts highlight Hispanic figures to honor Hispanic Heritage Month. READ MORE
