About NCIC
NCIC provides integrated activities that aim to create multicultural awareness and understanding. We are a collaboration of six school districts which have students in and around Nobles County: Adrian, Ellsworth, Fulda, Round Lake-Brewster, Heron Lake-Okabena, and Worthington.

We continue to offer after-school programs for 7th-12th grade students for the 2025-2026 school year. Each group focuses on academic success, giving back to the community, building leadership skills, social and cultural awareness, and college and career readiness. There are two groups: one for 7th and 8th graders and one for 9th through 12th graders. To register or for questions, call 507-376-3300.

Teacher Pathway Scholarships
NCIC is working with its member districts to increase the percentage of teachers of color in each district. We are dedicated to investing in educators committed to teaching in rural Minnesota schools, especially those in the NCIC service area which includes the school districts of Adrian, Ellsworth, Fulda, Heron Lake-Okabena, Round Lake-Brewster, and Worthington. We want to ensure that our students have access to a diverse teaching staff, who are teaching in their field, and who are committed to providing high-quality, equitable education to all students.
