WELCOME!

The Northampton Association of School Employees (NASE) is the professional community that represents the teachers, guidance counselors, administrators, nurses, paraeducators, therapy assistants, clerical workers, custodians, cafeteria workers and bus drivers of the Northampton Public Schools, and the teachers and administrators of Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School.

We aspire to maintain and improve the quality of education for all children, to uphold high professional standards, and to advance the socio-economic well-being of educators.

We are affiliated with the Massachusetts Teachers Association and the National Educational Association.

And remember, when you join, YOU are NASE. We do this together.

NASE VALUES:

  • advocating for students’ needs
  • promoting systemic justice, fighting institutional prejudice and inequities
  • defending the socioeconomic well-being of public educators 
  • supporting members’ professional advancement and dignity collaborating with Northampton’s strong community
