Each year, the Kansas City, Kansas School Foundation for Excellence proudly recognizes an outstanding group of alumni through the Reasons to Believe Alumni Honor Roll. Our honorees embody perseverance, professionalism, leadership, and a commitment to serving others. Their accomplishments and personal journeys demonstrate what is possible for KCKPS graduates and inspire the students following in their footsteps. As we celebrate our 2026 Reasons to Believe Honorees, we invite you to extend their impact by making a donation in their honor. The honoree who raises the most funds will be recognized with a scholarship awarded in their name to a graduating KCKPS student in spring 2027. Every dollar raised will support the KCKS Foundation&rsquo;s spring 2027 scholarship program, which awards approximately 35&ndash;38 scholarships each year, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 per student. Your gift celebrates the success of KCKPS alumni while opening doors for the next generation of KCKPS graduates.
