Happy School Principals’ Day! 💛🖤

Happy School Principals' Day - May 1st

Congratulation to Mrs. Beth Blubaugh for being named the USD 312 Education Foundation 3rd Quarter Impact Award Winner!!

Mrs. Blubaugh is one of the most versatile and dependable people in our district. She works hard, anticipates needs, and is often a trusted sounding board and collaborator when supporting some of our most vulnerable students. Her ability to connect with people helps reduce the stigma around mental health, and her reputation extends well beyond our district. Our school-based mental health program is recognized across the state, and Mrs. Blubaugh serves as a leader for other liaisons throughout Kansas.

Before Mrs. Blubaugh helped bridge the gap between schools and community mental health services, less than 1% of our students were connected to support. Today, that number is around 14%. Her communication, organization, and willingness to help wherever needed have removed barriers for students and families to access critical services. She helps reduce time students miss from class, ensures important communication between schools and providers stays clear, and creates true wraparound support.

Because she works across all buildings, Mrs. Blubaugh's impact reaches every student and staff member. She provides professional expertise in behavior support, partners with teachers, administrators, and counselors, and constantly works to improve our systems with intention. On the hardest days, Mrs. Blubaugh is the person you want by your side. Much of her work happens behind the scenes, but she has quietly made a difference in countless students’ and staff members’ lives without ever seeking recognition.

Thank you for all you do!!!
