History of Kato’s Corner
- Kato’s Corner is named after Mrs. Erin Kato, a beloved member of the NCP Counseling Department. She was always there with whatever you needed, even when you didn’t know you needed it!
- In order to honor her memory, the NCP Counseling Department created a space where students could grab commonly needed items. Since its inception, this space has expanded and included additional items such as personal hygiene products and clothes
- In 2019, Kato's Corner was officially launched and continues to be in operation in the counseling office led by NCP Counselor, Ms. Katie Mathews, ever since. All students who need materials for school or home should feel free to stop by and grab what they need.
