“We’re incredibly proud of how our students performed—not just because of their scores, but because of the focus, discipline, and sportsmanship they showed throughout the tournament,” said Brittanie Cleveland, Barren County Archery Coordinator. “Programs like NASP do so much more than teach archery—they build confidence, character, and a sense of community among our students.”
NASP is the National Archery in the Schools Program, an in-school program aimed at improving educational performance among students in grades 4th – 12th. To learn more, visit: www.naspschools.org
