Attention Teachers! If you are participating for the first time, you will need to contact the state office at nebraskanhd@gmail.com BEFORE you try to register in order to have your school added into the system.  Schools that participated in the 2019 contest year are in the system.  If you are unsure, please check the list below to see which schools are currently in our system.

Teachers need to have a completed registration prior to any students registering.  Once registered, the account will remain active in the system from year to year unless requested otherwise.
