Last week U.S News and World Report came out with its list of top schools in the nation.
Included on that list is Byron High School.
Principal Steve Willman said that having the school recognized in that way is a true honor.

Since she began her career in education, Kasson-Mantorville High School English teacher and teaching and learning coach Lisa Goihl has always taken advantage of different opportunities presented to her.
That's why this September, she will begin her next chapter in education, as the assistant principal of Instructional Leadership at River Falls High School in River Falls, Wis.

Sitting in his office in the Triton Administration area of the school, Superintendent Brett Joyce reflected on his career as he prepares to retire at the end of the current school year.
“I’ve enjoyed my career in education,” he said. “I wouldn’t have done anything else.”

During the April Kasson-Mantorville School Board meeting, the board accepted the resignation of K-M Middle School principal Erin Kyllo. Kyllo accepted a middle school position in Colorado and her last day will be at the end of June.
With the resignation comes an opening for a middle school principal in September, and during the special school board meeting on Monday, the process of hiring a new principal was laid out.

The Minnesota Telecom Alliance announced that it received 140 scholarship applications from across the state and two winning students are from Kasson. Jora Nicole Gergen was selected to receive a $2,000 scholarship, and Garsen Schorr was selected to receive the first $2,000 Information Technology scholarship for the 2019- 2020 academic year from the Minnesota Telecom Alliance Foundation, according to Mary Ehmke, president of KMTelecom.

Graduation rates are soaring across the region as area schools shot above the state average.
