In the Shawnee Mission School District, everyone who serves Shawnee Mission School District students is an educator, because everyone plays an important role in helping each student achieve their personal best. As we put the finishing touches on another fabulous school year, we want to thank all who are ALL IN to help our students succeed.
Throughout the year, the Shawnee Mission Board of Education honors All Stars — those who go above and beyond on behalf of our students. They embody the mission of the Shawnee Mission School District by serving our learners, our teams, and our community with excellence.
