Due to recent Kansas law, school districts and educators must limit social media to one-way communication with students. Since we can't always know if we're communicating with a student, we are no longer able to respond to direct messages or comment-based conversations on our social media pages.

It's important to us to provide support when needed. Please contact us at 316-973-4464 or [email protected] if you need assistance.

On the November 3, 2026, general election ballot, Wichita Public Schools will ask the community to consider $615 million worth of projects. The contents of the proposal are especially relevant to our magnet community, as it proposes to rebuild Coleman Environmental Magnet, McLean Science & Technology Magnet, and Black Traditional Magnet. These are already strong programs and the new facilities will help them take their themed focus to new heights! Additionally, Horace Mann Dual Language Magnet will move to the old Hadley Middle School building, giving them much-needed space to expand and serve even more students.
