This Wednesday afternoon, we celebrated the incredible achievements of Larned High School students, who have mastered crucial safety and construction skills through the OSHA 10 course and NCCER Core certification. Many students received recognition for their proficiency in both certifications, and two students proudly earned their CDL! A huge thank you to Janet Hammond from H&H Roofing for her support in distributing Core certification cards and OSHA 10 certificates. #bettertogether
A special shout-out to Mr. Adam Hewson for his dedication to preparing our students for successful careers. His efforts ensure that these students are truly ready to take on the world. #besttribeever #larnedpride #careerready





Wednesday was a productive day for Larned Middle School students during Community Service Day! A big shout-out to our LMS staff and the USD 495 Transportation Department for organizing this meaningful event and ensuring everything ran smoothly. It was all about giving back to our community who supports us throughout the school year!
From Fort Larned National Historic Site to the Pawnee County Humane Society, our 6th - 8th graders made a positive impact in various locations around Larned and Pawnee Rock. They also helped out the City of Larned crew and took care of tasks for USD 495 such as washing school buses, cleaning gym bleachers, and assisting with general school maintenance. Everyone's efforts truly made a difference! Way to go LMS! #larnedpride #bettertogether

Do your best, be your best! We are so proud of our elementary students who have earned the title of Student of the Month! 🌟 #larnedpride #lesfamily #earnedit
Good news calls home! #goodnewscallhome



Introducing the JAG-K student of the month: Michael Graf!
"Michael is a great kid. While he's a great student and participates in class, he's always up for fun! I'll never forget the time in accounting, when everyone had had enough learning for the day and I looked over to find Michael with tape dispenser glasses. He definitely knows how to make others laugh! I sure will miss him next year." -Mrs. Stahlecker
"Over the past two years, Micheal has become a leader amongst his peers. In class, his work is consistent and always showing improvement. He is a true asset to Larned High School." -Mr. Scheideman
"Michael Graf has been an awesome student all year. He is a leader in the weight room, on the field, and at powerlifting meets. It has been a joy teaching and coaching Michael! I am sad that I only had the opportunity to teach and coach him for one year." -Mr. Westerman
"Good guy. Hard worker. Always has a positive attitude." -Mr. LeRoy
