NPHS is a member of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) that sponsors ProStart®, which is a nationwide, two-year high school program that unites the classroom and industry to develop students into restaurant and foodservice leaders. Students may qualify for the ProStart National Certificate of Achievement (COA) and compete in the state's ProStart competitions in two categories: restaurant management and culinary arts. In 2013, North Pulaski won both state-level competitions and represented Arkansas at the National ProStart Invitational competition.
The school band programs perform at various competitions including invitationals and regional assessments administered by the Arkansas School Band and Orchestra Association (ASBOA).

In addition, the marching band has been awarded the 1991 Sweepstakes Winner at Worlds of Fun Music Festival in Kansas City, Missouri; the 1994 Best in Class at North American Music Festival in Atlanta, Georgia and the Arkansas representative in the 1997, 2000 and 2003 National Independence Day Parade in Washington, DC.
