Unveiling the 2023 All-Kansas Yearbook winners

Congratulations to the following KSPA-member yearbook staffs who earned All-Kansas yearbook status in the 2023 All-Kansas critiques.

Our judges have critiqued over 50 books and awarded 28 All-Kansas awards. Judges were supplied a critique booklet and a copy of the yearbook in October. The completed electronic critique booklets are in the process of being emailed back to each adviser. Each judge critiqued yearbooks from a single enrollment classification.

Each All-Kansas school earns an All-Kansas plaque that will be presented in the spring at the State Celebration. 

Please contact KSPA by email with any questions or corrections.
