Event Vision

The KASB District Showcase is designed to display your learners' best quality of work. This opportunity allows KASB member districts to highlight a particularly strong or unique program. Kansas has a wide array of district sizes, district cultures, and unique experiences for its students. We at KASB want to celebrate all the ways our member districts support their students in reaching their goals and exploring their world.

A team of KASB staff and board members will select 20 districts. Chosen districts receive a certificate of recognition and a $250 program donation.

Student Learning

Not only does the District Showcase allow your district to shine, it also provides an opportunity for students to engage in real-world learning. Students will give live demonstrations, practice public speaking skills, design and implement a project plan, and receive immediate feedback from the convention attendees.

What to bring

When and Where

The District Showcase will take place at the Hyatt Regency in Wichita during the KASB Annual Convention. Friday, November 10, 2023, students, teachers, and administrators will set up a 10X10 convention booth display with materials, posters, videos, or other items to show off a program that makes their district special. Our convention attendees will have the opportunity to walk through, ask questions, experience the excellence in your district, and go back home with a range of new ideas to share with their communities.
