The mission of the NCAPEA is to promote quality adapted physical education services and equal access across the continuum of services for students with disabilities in North Carolina.
NCAPEA awards are presented at the NC SHAPE Convention in November! Come and join us as we honor our award winners! We are very proud of them, and we know you will be too!
Nominations and applications for NCAPEA Awards are accepted at all times of the year. However, the deadline is May 1st of the current year. Nominations or applications made after that date will be considered for the following year. Please take a minute to think of colleagues, teachers, administrators, and college students you feel deserve recognition.
