Administration

Brad LaChapelle, Principal

I am honored to have the opportunity to reach, teach, and inspire students at Eisenhower Elementary. My passion for education involves providing an exciting, rigorous, and safe learning environment for all students. I am committed to building positive relationships with all stakeholders involved with our building and leading by example.

I was born and raised in Omaha, NE. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with my undergraduate and then received my Master's from Wayne State College. I spent 20 years in Omaha Public Schools and held many titles which include 2nd grade teacher, technology teacher, Instructional Technology Facilitator, Reading Interventionist, and Instructional Coach. I have been the principal at Eisenhower Elementary since 2021-22, and have enjoyed every minute of it. My wife, Lindsey, and I have 6 children, which 3 of them attend North Platte Public Schools. We have another in college and another getting ready for kindergarten next year.

I am excited to serve the community of North Platte and strive to make it a great place to live and learn. I am continually reminded of how great North Platte is by watching how our businesses partner with our educational community to support our youth. The staff all across the NPPS district is committed to offering a high quality education, and Eisenhower is no exception.

I am extremely proud to be at Eisenhower Elementary and I look forward to watching the staff and students grow as well as myself.
