The Confidence in Kansas Public Education Task Force has named 92 schools, including Rock Hills Junior-Senior High School, as recipients of the 2021 Challenge Awards.
The award recognizes Kansas schools that are making a notable difference in student achievement despite facing significant challenges in their school population. Since its inception in 2002, more than 1,800 awards have been presented to schools across the state.
Certificates of Merit are presented to schools by Kansas State Board of Education members.
“USD 107 has an amazing staff! We are proud of the hard work and accomplishments of the students and staff at Rock Hills Junior-Senior High School in receiving the 2021 Challenge Award,” said Rex Boley, superintendent of schools.
“I believe that earning the Challenge Award is a great accomplishment for our school and well-deserved recognition of the hard work of our staff and students each and every day as they work to achieve at their highest levels of excellence,” said Sam Meyers, principal.
