Question:
Dear Annie,  Are you regional?

Answer:
Dear  Regional,

I’m not sure I understand your question so  I will provide a broad answer. Yes, we are a member of the North Central Association (Higher Learning Commission accredits post-secondary education institutions in the North Central region.)  We serve a 20 county area in the Northeast region of Nebraska.  Our competitive teams (Basketball, Livestock judging, Rodeo, Forensics, etc.) compete in regional and national competitions. Our clubs and organizations are affiliated with state, regional and national groups. If this is not the information you were looking for, I invite to post a more specific question and I’ll do my best to answer it.
