Buhler High School

Any day is a great day to recognize teachers but today was very special. In a surprise phone call, Kansas Commissioner of Education, Dr. Randy Watson, notified Ashley (Sides) Bunting, 6th grade science teacher, that she was awarded the Horizon Award. The Kansas Horizon Award Program is a regional competition based upon the state’s four U.S. congressional districts. Four elementary classroom teachers and four secondary classroom teachers per region are selected which makes Ashley one of 32 exceptional teachers recognized.

IT IS TIME FOR A STANDING OVATION!!! Congratulations to the staff pictured below for "going above and beyond for students, staff, and/or community members." In a random drawing from this group of recipients, Shannon Vieyra (PCE 4th grade teacher) and Denise Ingalls (PHMS Social Studies teacher) won a $25 gift card to Dillons. Thank you to The Buhler Education Foundation for supporting this program!!
