Mission

Statement

The mission of the Northland Preparatory Academy’s Athletic Department, partnered with academics, is to ensure and enhance the quality of life for students at NPA, by providing competitive activities. These activities will help to produce young men and women able to enter the community and become constructive, contributing members of society, with valuable life-long skills.

Our

Philosophy

The Athletic Department is an integral part of the total educational process of Northland Preparatory Academy. Being involved in athletics provides the student with opportunities to develop skills, positive sportsmanship, develop leadership skills, learn and practice the ideals of fair play and ethical behavior.

These opportunities are necessary for competition and cooperation in our society. Although the charter of NPA is that of an academic school, a holistic education aims at developing the overall student – brain, body, and heart. Therefore athletics is the perfect complement to academics in developing the well-rounded student. It also provides our students with unique opportunities for self-discipline, self-sacrifice, and loyalty to the community, the school, and the team. NPA encourages all students to participate in athletics by offering a well-rounded program of interscholastic athletics for young men and women. In addition, athletic participation is a privilege granted to all students who voluntarily accept the rules and regulations outlined in our Athletic Handbook.

Director of Athletics

As the new Athletic Director at NPA, Dedrick Wiese arrives with a background in athletics, education, coaching, and fitness. His journey began in Aberdeen, South Dakota, where he learned the values of hard work and community support. This foundation fueled his dedication to sports, leading him to play Junior Hockey in Phoenix and later become a part of the NAU Ice Hockey club. Beyond his playing days, he took on roles that developed his passions for athletics and health. He taught Physical Education, coached Varsity Soccer,  coached Ice Hockey, and spent a year as an Athletic Director during the pandemic.

Dedrick’s vision as Athletic Director is centered around creating an inclusive and supportive environment for student-athletes. His background underscores the importance of teamwork, discipline, and communication. He plans to foster unity and growth within the athletic department, valuing each coach’s unique coaching philosophies. Go Spartans!
