It is my privilege and pleasure to serve as the Superintendent for the Wamego Public Schools. I have lived in northeast Kansas for most of my life. The quality of life in the Wamego community is well known in this region. Wamego offers top-notch health care, great recreation programs, wonderful arts programs and a first class educational system.
I believe that the Wamego Public Schools contribute significantly to the quality of life that families enjoy in our community. Many programs offered within our school system provide students with an opportunity to develop skills needed to succeed in life. The academic programs include, but are not limited to:
- All day kindergarten
- Reading Recovery and Soar to Success (K-5)
- Character Education (K-5)
- Integrated technology training (K-12)
- Middle School Algebra (7-8)
- Advanced Placement (AP) courses (9-12)
In addition, many extra-curricular opportunities are offered for our students.
- After School Clubs (3-5)
- Interscholastic Athletics (7-12) (football, cross country, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, track, tennis and golf)
- Fine Arts Activities (5-12) (marching and jazz bands, choir and vocal ensemble groups, drama club, art club, and a dance team)
- Debate and forensics teams
The vitality and success of our school system would not be possible without the hard work and commitment of our teachers, secretaries, aides, paraprofessionals, custodians, food service staff, maintenance staff, and technical staff. The community is very proud of the care and dedication that staff members have for the children that we serve. Teachers continually improve their own skills through professional development and collaborate on a regular basis. I believe that their enthusiasm and devotion significantly impacts the growth in student achievement and it is greatly appreciated.
I also want to give a very special thanks to all of the parents and community members who actively support our school district. Their continued support for our teachers and students helps us to be one of the best school systems in the state of Kansas.
Best wishes,
Doug Conwell, Superintendent
