Northport School Prepares Students for Lifetime Success

The Northport Promise helps with the next step - Promise Saves! 

Students who attend Northport Public Schools benefit in many ways – small classes, great teachers and a community that cares. And since 2008 Northport students also get financial help for college or trade school through the Northport Promise.

Now The Northport Promise has created Promise Saves. Through the Promise Saves program sets up Children’s Savings Accounts for each Northport student. Plus we’re working with the school and the TBA Credit Union to help provide financial education.

It all starts now. For the 2025-2026 school year Northport students will each receive an account with a deposit of $100 for each year they’ve attended Northport.  

In 2026-2027 every kindergarten student will get a deposit of $100. Students in grades 1-12 will  receive a Promise Saves deposit each year. Deposits are made at the fall school count and in February. Students moving to Northport after Kindergarten can participate in the program. They will be eligible for deposits each year they attend Northport.

Families can add to their children’s accounts at any time. Regular deposits are urged.

Our History: The Northport Promise was founded in 2007 and gave its first awards – just $11,200 - in 2008. Since then the Promise has awarded nearly $435,000 to help almost 100 Northport graduates.

Today Northport Promise recipients are pursuing great careers. It took many generous people like you to make their dreams come true. Please support our students by clicking on this link to donate.
