Hesston USD 460 earned recognition in several key categories — Postsecondary Success, Graduation Rate, Academic Preparedness, and received the prestigious Commissioner’s Award.
Hesston was one of only seven public school districts statewide to achieve the Gold Star for Postsecondary Success. This honor recognizes districts with the highest percentage of students who meet postsecondary success criteria — including earning industry-recognized certifications, postsecondary certificates or degrees, or continued enrollment in a postsecondary program during both the first and second years after graduation. Because Hesston’s results exceeded its predicted Postsecondary Success Rate, the district also earned the Commissioner’s Award.
In addition, Hesston USD 460 reached the Gold Star level for Graduation Rate, recognizing districts with at least a 95% graduation rate. The district was also among only 17 public school districts in Kansas to receive the Silver Star for Academic Preparedness, awarded to districts where at least 60% of students meet proficiency on the annual state assessments.
These honors reflect the collective effort and dedication of our students, staff, families, and community. We are proud of these achievements and remain committed to making Hesston USD 460 the very best place for students to learn, grow, and succeed.
Just a reminder that beginning Monday, August 25, all 5-12th grade students will be dropped off and picked up at the Main Entrance of the 5-12 school building. All 5-12th graders should use the Main Entrance to enter the building beginning today.

Parents are welcome with your student. Please utilize the stadium parking lot and enter through the main entrance. We will have schedules, maps and a quick message in the commons area before releasing students to walk their schedules. Staff will be available throughout the building to help students learn where to go for each class. We are excited to see you tomorrow! We are looking forward to an amazing school year!
