Tonganoxie High School has been named a 2025 All Star High School by the Kansas Board of Regents as part of their Apply Kansas: All Star High School program. Apply Kansas is the Board of Regents' annual statewide campaign to increase the number of students applying, enrolling, and succeeding in college or other postsecondary goals. Launched in 2022, the All Star High School program extends the Apply Kansas mission to enhance college access by guiding students through the application process. Students in these schools receive support in completing admissions applications, seeking financial aid, and celebrating all postsecondary paths. This ongoing series of events, sustained year after year, cultivates a college-going atmosphere throughout the entire school community. Tonganoxie High School will be among those high schools honored as a 2025 All Star High School at the May 14th Board of Regents meeting in Topeka. #tongienation #usd464
