Maize counselors earn statewide recognition for excellence
Congratulations to Maize Middle School Counselor Monica Heide, honored recently as a Kansas School Counselor Association School Counselor of the Year Finalist!

Her colleagues and district leaders also joined in on the surprise, including Superintendent Dr. Raquel Greer and Principal Chad Cramer. Monica is a Maize USD 266 graduate who continues to pour back into the district.
She and Maize South Intermediate School Counselor Caitlin Hamilton were among nominees recognized throughout the state.
