From student to staff, do you recognize this teacher?
Beginning Monday, November 2nd, we will be implementing a new expectation regarding bicycles and scooters on school grounds.
Moving forward, students will be expected to walk their bicycles and scooters once they enter school property, rather than riding them. This expectation is being put in place to help ensure the safety of all students, staff, and families.
Please help support us by reviewing and communicating this expectation with your student at home.
If students struggle to follow this expectation, situations will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and could result in a parent meeting or loss of the privilege to bring bicycles or scooters onto school property.
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support in keeping our school safe!

Mrs. Laurel Scott Named 2027 Area 2 High School Principal of the Year
Haven Public Schools USD 312 is proud to announce that Mrs. Laurel Scott, principal of Haven High School, has been named the 2027 Kansas Principals Association Area 2 High School Principal of the Year!
Area 2 is made up of KPA Regions 3, 4, and 5 and covers high schools in the following 29 counties: Allen, Bourbon, Brown, Chase, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Clay, Crawford, Dickinson, Elk, Geary, Harvey, Jackson, Labette, Marion, Marshall, McPherson, Montgomery, Morris, Nemaha, Neosho, Pottawatomie, Reno, Rice, Riley, Saline, Washington, Wilson, and Woodson.
This recognition makes Mrs. Scott one of four finalists for the 2027 Kansas High School Principal of the Year. The statewide winner will be announced during the Kansas Principals Conference, November 4–5 in Wichita.
We deeply appreciate Mrs. Scott’s leadership and dedication to our students, staff, and families. Leading a high school involves countless conversations, decisions, and hours behind the scenes. Her commitment to supporting students, guiding staff, and helping Haven High School grow makes a difference throughout USD 312.
We are fortunate to have Mrs. Scott leading our Wildcats and proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of all she does for our school community.
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Laurel Scott!

We're inviting families to bring in their favorite homemade desserts for our staff to enjoy throughout the week. Whether it's cookies, brownies, pies, cakes, or a secret family recipe, we want to try it!
Here's how it works:
Bake: Make your favorite homemade dessert! Please bring enough for a large group of staff to sample.
Drop Off: Bring your dessert to the HGS front office anytime October 26–29. The earlier in the week, the better! We'll take care of labeling it with your family's name and dessert name.
Taste Test: Our staff will enjoy the desserts throughout the week. Tough job, but somebody has to do it!
Vote: Toward the end of the week, staff will vote for their favorite, and we'll announce our 2026 HGS Dessert Bake-Off Champion!
This is all just for fun and a way to spoil our hardworking staff during a busy conference week!
We appreciate our Wildcat families and can't wait to see (and taste) what you come up with!
May the best dessert win! 🖤💛
