Haviland elementary was one of 43 Kansas elementary schools to receive the Governor’s Achievement Award which honors top performing schools in the state.

“The Governor’s Achievement Award is a significant recognition for Kansas schools,” said Kansas Education Commissioner Dr. Diane DeBacker. “The accomplishment recognizes a school’s high expectations and the ability of the school staff to assist students in achieving to those expectations.”

Schools that receive the award have achieved the “Standard of Excellence” guidelines making progress in reading, math and high attendance numbers. Each school selected was in the top 5% of elementary schools in the state in state assessment tests.

“Our students and teachers are to be commended for receiving such a prestigious award,” said Haviland Superintendent Mike Couch. “This is truly a major accomplishment for our district.  Our students and teachers work diligently each day. Giving them personal recognition like this will give them incentive each time they are called upon to go the extra mile.”
