Kelli Zehr has been a member of KSPA for 21 years. Zehr was at Burrton for 19 of those years where she brought back a program that was floundering. She helped students produce a monthly news magazine and a yearbook. On top of that, her students were heavily involved in contests, winning back-to-back in 2016 and 2017. Zehr is in her 3rd year at Halstead High School where she has worked on revitalizing the program and increasing the enrollment in journalism classes. She is in her second year on the board of directors.
