HES announces its Kindergarten enrollment event for the 2025-26 school year: April 7, 1:30-2:45 p.m. HES is located at 300 E. Amos, Hesston.
Beginning Monday, March 3rd, Hesston Elementary School will begin classes 10 minutes earlier (7:50am instead of 8:00am). This change will continue for the remainder of the school year. The increase in time is necessary to make up lost hours due to the snow days we've experienced this winter. These changes will not impact either Hesston Middle School or Hesston High School. If you have specific questions about this change, please contact Mrs. Krehbiel at HES or Mr. Logan at the USD 460 office. Thank You and have a wonderful day.
Tonight a 7:30 we will have the official opening of the Performing Arts Center with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. The HHS Winter play follows at 8:00. This will be a busy evening at the school.
