Nampa PREP
Our Mission
PREP is an innovative program in the Nampa School District which provides students ages 18-21 with Special Needs the necessary skills to transition from school into adult life.
Students learn through hands-on experiences in the community and daily living instruction in a natural setting.
What Do Students Think About PREP?
“PREP makes me feel confident about myself and what I can do. I have learned to be social and to work hard. I have goals for my life now. I want to be more independent, get a job and be married. Because of the help from PREP I think I can reach every goal I have for myself.” -Isaac
“The PREP program is so fun. I love going to different jobs to learn what kind of work I like.” -Anthony

Sustainable Learning for Our Future
Mountain SD is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint and fostering a culture of sustainability within its schools and central office.
Sustainability is a core value for our district, and we strive to create a learning environment that promotes environmental responsibility for future generations.
The district has implemented a comprehensive program that includes a variety of initiatives. These include:
- installing solar panels on school rooftops to generate clean energy
- implementing a robust recycling and composting program to reduce waste
- promoting the use of electric school buses for cleaner transportation
- parterning with local farms to source fresh, locally-grown food for its cafeterias
These efforts are not only benefiting the environment, but also creating a more engaging learning experience for students. Through school gardens and outdoor classrooms, students are actively involved in understanding environmental issues and exploring sustainable solutions.
Mountain SD is committed to continuing its leadership in sustainability and inspiring other school districts to adopt similar practices.
