Derby Public Schools is hosting a Community Chit Chat on January 30 at 6:30AM. This is an excellent opportunity to visit with the Board of Education and school district leadership.

We are proud to share that Derby High School's Panther Pals Program was selected for the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) Conference District Showcase on November 15 in Wichita. Selected districts receive a $250 program donation to support their initiatives.

With the help of the Derby community and surrounding communities, Operation Holiday provides individuals and families non-perishable food, vouchers for perishable food, and toys and gift cards.

Clean out your closets and help support the Derby High School Panther Marching Band at the same time!

McConnell AFB and Derby Public Schools collaborate through a Military-Connected Educational Partnership Council, which meets quarterly, followed by an open forum for military-connected parents to address the council.

Congratulations to Heather Bohaty, Superintendent of Schools, on being named a finalist for 2025 Kansas Superintendent of the Year!

District Leadership proudly announced the 2025 Horizon Award nominees, Delaney McWilliams and Olivia Bazanos, and the 2026 Kansas Teacher of the Year nominees, Susan Rogers and Denise Rankin.

We are pleased to announce that our Board of Education has prioritized and approved a new School Resource Officer (SRO) position to serve our three elementary schools located outside of Derby city limits.

Congratulations to Derby High School seniors Carson Griffin, Isabella Nikolova and Audrey Thompson on being named National Merit Semifinalists by scoring amongst the top 1% of U.S. high school seniors on the PSAT during their junior year.

New for the 2024-2025 school year, Derby Public Schools is introducing a new “Partner Practice” program, designed to support our students' skill development through meaningful family engagement at home.
