The program recognizes the top ten percent of graduates in every high school graduating class across the state. 

Since 1971 over 125,000 graduates have been recognized in Kansas and this year there will be 3500 such honorees, at 36 regionals programs across Kansas.  Every high school, in every county in the state, are recognized through this program.

Those recognized in Leavenworth County were honored to hear remarks from Mike Denning, the Director of the Office of Graduate Military Studies at the University of Kansas.  Denning is a retired Marine colonel, serving 27 years after graduating from KU and the Naval War College.  Denning’s remarks centered on leadership and being a productive member of the community in which we live.

Congratulations to the PRHS students who represent not only the high school, but the entire school district and our community!
