Challenge Awards Recognize Schools Closing Achievement Gaps

Posted Date: 04/16/2025

The Challenge Awards celebrate the outstanding work happening in schools across our state. These awards not only recognize excellence but also serve as a reminder of our ongoing commitment to improving academic outcomes and closing achievement gaps among all student subgroups—including those defined by race, socioeconomic status, and special needs.

The schools being honored have made significant progress in narrowing these gaps, and we are proud to recognize their dedication, hard work, and commitment to helping every student succeed.

Congratulations to this year’s honorees: Sunnyside Elementary, Dodge City Middle School (DCMS), and Miller Elementary!
