Nashua-Plainfield Community School District (N-P) is a rural, public school district headquartered in Nashua, Iowa. The district, serving Nashua and Plainfield, occupies sections of four counties: Bremer, Butler, Chickasaw, and Floyd.[2]

Facility

It has a 26,000-square-foot (2,400 m2) athletic facility known as the Husky Wellness Center, which opened in 2013.[4]

Circa 2019, there were plans to build a playground with $25,000 raised by students. The district issued a call for volunteers to build it.[5]
