    Each year the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) and the Nebraska Chiropractic Physicians Association (NCPA) recognize students who have been nominated by their schools, based on their individual academic excellence, leadership and significant contributions made to their NSAA activity.
    For the fall activities season, the NSAA and NCPA recognized 2,554 award winners from schools across the state.
