North Delta School
North Delta School is a private, non-profit, non-denominational school, which focuses on encouraging students to perform at their highest possible level, all with the personal attention of its qualified staff.
North Delta School, Inc. was organized in May 1987 from a merger of West Panola Academy and North Delta School. The WPA Green Wave and the NDS Eagles began their educational services in the mid to late 1960’s to provide an alternative educational experience to the existing school systems. The synergistic effect of each school’s strengths, personality and patronage has led to an organization which has achieved new heights in student performance and growth. Eighty-four percent of our students are involved in extra-curricular activities. Our extra-curricular activities include: football, basketball, baseball, cross country, track, tennis, golf, cheer, softball, Pee Wee football, Pee Wee Cheer and Pee Wee basketball, drama, art, Spanish Honors Society, Anchors Club, Quill & Scroll and Student Council.
North Delta School encourages the importance of a strong spiritual life through daily prayers and weekly chapel programs.
