HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Public Schools has been recognized by the Kansas State Department of Education with two awards based on achievements in student post-secondary success and social-emotional growth. USD 308 was notified of the recognition through communication from Kansas Commissioner of Education Dr. Randy Watson.
The Kansas State Department of Education recognized the school district with the Commissioners Award and the Copper STAR Recognition. The Commissioners Award recognizes districts that outperform their predicted post-secondary effectiveness rate. The Copper STAR Recognition distinguishes the district’s work in achieving student development in social, emotional and character competencies that promote learning and success in life.
“This recognition means a great deal to our district,” Mike Folks, superintendent of Hutchinson Public Schools said. “We are so proud to receive these awards that reflect the hard work our staff has put towards the success of each of our students.”
The Kansas STAR Recognition Program seeks to provide Kansas districts an opportunity to validate the coherent, rigorous and sustained commitment required to improve adult and student outcomes.
