• Tim Conrad - New Piper High School Principal
• Liz Milam - Kansas Horizon Award Winner

Dear Students, Staff and Parents:

I am honored and excited to have been provided the opportunity to join the Piper USD 203 staff as Piper High School Principal! After acquainting myself with many students, staff and patrons, I have quickly realized that I am surrounded by outstanding people who possess a high degree of pride, commitment to excellence, and have high expectations. These three qualities are significant in the continued development of an outstanding school. I am quite confident that we will work together to reach goals, build dreams and impact the lives of our kids on a daily basis.

With the projected influx of enrollment, the opportunities are tremendous for our school and our district. The opportunity for me to be able to work for each of you in ensuring our students are being provided with opportunities to succeed, is a tremendous honor for me and my family. I look forward to knowing each of you and working for each of you in our quest for excellence in our vision of the future!

Working together for kids,

Tim Conrad



Kansas Horizon Award Winner
Liz Milam

Liz Milam, Grade 3 teacher at Piper East Elementary School, received a 2008 Kansas Horizon Award at a celebratory luncheon in Topeka on February 22, 2008. The award was presented to Ms. Milam by Dr. Alexa Posney, Commissioner of Education for Kansas, and Dale Dennis, Deputy Commissioner of Education.

The Kansas Horizon Awards recognize the accomplishments of talented and dedicated first-year teachers. Allan Amos, Piper East principal, nominated Ms. Milam for this award. To be eligible for a Horizon Award, teachers must have successfully completed their first year of teaching and performed in such a way as to distinguish themselves as outstanding. The Horizon Award is a regional competition in Kansas with four regions corresponding to the state’s U.S. Congressional districts. Four elementary and four secondary classroom teachers may be selected for the award from each district.

As a result of winning the Horizon Award, Ms. Milam will participate in the Kansas Exemplary Educators Network (KEEN). KEEN members form a network of educators from around the state who have been recognized for exemplary performance. Participants in KEEN have an opportunity to network with other outstanding educators and participate in a number of professional development programs throughout the year.

Q:  Does the Piper Board of Education endorse a casino proposal. and why?
A:  The Piper Board of Education endorses the Legends Sun Casino proposal. This proposal is good for the district taxpayers as the increase in valuation will enable the Board of Education to reduce the property tax burden on Piper patrons. The Piper School District has the lowest per pupil funding rate of any school district in Wyandotte County. If Legends Suns Casino is approved, the increase in valuation will offset this inequity by providing additional local funds and a lower tax rate.
Q:  Has there been confirmed a confirmed diagnosis of MRSA Staph infection?
A:  School officials have determined that a Piper student has a confirmed diagnosis of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus or more commonly known as MRSA staph infection. Because the infected student participates in the football program, the district is taking preventative measures to avoid future infection. The Community Education Building will be closed for sterilization effective immediately and will not reopen until Monday, October 22, 2007. Alternative dressing facilities will be utilized for the football game on Friday, October 19, 2007 Football pads, helmets, and equipment have been sterilized by USD 203 personnel. District personnel will laundry all athletic related garments in the locker rooms. Students are advised to bring additional undergarments until personal belonging can be sorted out. The affected areas of the skin can resemble a spider bite. There is a link with information from Children's Mercy Hospital posted on our homepage.
Q:  What is a mail-ballot election?
A:  Mail-ballot elections are different than walk-in elections. Each registered voter will receive a ballot by mail on or about October 26, 2007. Voters may mark their ballots and return them by mail to the Wyandotte County Election Office. Ballots must be received by the election office by Noon on November 13 to be counted.
