If your student is absent from school for any reason, a phone call or note from a parent or guardian is required for the absence to be an excused absence.  If your student needs to leave school early and will be driving themselves OR be picked up by someone other than a parent or guardian, you will need to call the school in advance for the student to leave early with that person.

If you have any questions, please call the high school office at 620-892-5215 X2.

The Kansas Book Festival Foundation sponsors a writing contest for grades 3-12 each year since 2013. The 2017 Theme was “Kansas Places”: Describe a place that is unique to Kansas and explain its importance to the state of Kansas. A place could be a city, town, county, lake, river area, region (i.e., Flint Hills, northeast Kansas) or a building. Descriptions should include historical and/or present-day elements of the place.Winners were picked from each congressional district in Kansas in grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. These essays were written in the spring of 2017.

Fourth Congressional District 6th-8th grade winners were both from South Haven:

First place:  Josiah Bright, writing about the Cawker City Ball of Twine

Second place:  Kyla Baker, writing about home.

Josiah and Kyla were awarded cash prizes for their first and second place essays on September 9 in Topeka at the state capitol in the Senate Chamber. Congratulations Josiah and Kyla!

For August in High School, Tiffany Liersemann has been nominated by Mrs. Byers and Kendall Ray has been nominated by Mr. Leach for September as both have “stepped up to get the year started.”
