Dear Trojan Students and Families,

I would like to welcome our students, parents and community members to New Prague High School for the 2024-2025 school year. I am honored to serve as Principal at NPHS and would like to thank our communities, parents, students and staff for their engagement in our school community. As a new year of learning begins, we look forward to building meaningful relationships as we ensure each of our students are prepared to achieve their post-secondary goals. I am happy to be a part of the New Prague Trojan school community where all students are welcomed, valued and supported to grow and thrive as learners. 

I look forward to meeting you over the course of the year and we encourage all students and families to be active in our school. I am excited to learn about our students' areas of interest, support their needs and celebrate success throughout the year! 

In preparation for our return to school, I encourage you to review this website to learn more about our 2024-2025 school year.  Please do not hesitate to contact our school office with any questions that arise. 

Go Trojans!

Brian Thorstad

I am starting my 21st year on staff at NPHS, my 10th year as Assistant Principal at New Prague High School, and my 32nd year in education. My day-to-day role at NPHS is student-centered in a variety of areas.  Attendance, student assistance, student behaviors, and monitoring building protocols for safety, buildings and grounds, and working with our staff are my main focus.  In addition, working with parents and our communities is also a very important part of my job duties.  I will be the point person for students in grades 10 and 12 this year.   

I look forward to the beginning of each year as it offers a chance to start fresh with new students and families.  NPHS is a great place to be, and we are driven to provide the best possible learning opportunities for all students in our communities.  Go Trojans!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I look forward to continuing to serve the students and families of New Prague High School in the role of Assistant Principal. I am grounded in the belief that all students can achieve excellence and my role as an administrator is to assist them on their journey. My primary focus this school year will be communicating with students, families, and staff as well as providing support in the areas of attendance, behavior and achievement. I will be working primarily with students in grades 10 & 12. 

I am excited for the beginning of the school year and welcoming both returning and new students to our building. NPHS offers many wonderful programs and activities for your student to explore. I encourage you to reach out to discuss these opportunities or to discuss any questions you may have. Go Trojans!
