Welcome to Lawrence Public Schools, where our focus is Learning for All, Whatever it Takes!

Our school district has much to celebrate. Our teachers and staff are second to none. Parents are active participants in their children's educations. Our students never cease to amaze us with their achievements in and out of the classroom.

This is my 33rd year with the Lawrence Public Schools, as a teacher, coach, principal, curriculum director, assistant superintendent and now, superintendent. Lawrence is my home. It’s a great community! We're fortunate to live in a community that supports its schools through volunteerism, by sharing expertise and with financial and in-kind support. It’s a community that expects, and deserves, an excellent public school system. 

I hope that this Web site provides you with useful information about our schools. Please contact our communications office at (785) 832-5000 if you have additional questions.

I invite you to join me this year at concerts, games, plays and other school events and witness our students shine.

Sincerely,
Randy Weseman
Superintendent of Schools
