Anderson County Jr/Sr High School

What Anderson County Jr/Sr High School does

Anderson County Jr/Sr High School is a public secondary educational institution serving grades 7 through 12 in Garnett, Kansas, operating as one of four schools within Unified School District No. 365 (USD 365). The school delivers a comprehensive academic curriculum alongside an extensive Career and Technical Education (CTE) program that includes eight distinct career pathways: Business, Digital Media, FACS/Culinary Sciences, Agriculture (FFA), Art, PE/Weights, plus off-campus vocational tracks. Students can earn dual college credit and industry certifications through partnerships with Neosho County Community College (NCCC) for Welding, HVAC, and CNA training, and with Flint Hills Technical College for Automotive Technology, with tuition covered under Kansas Senate Bill 155 (Excel program).

The school's technology stack is operational rather than product-oriented: ParentSquare powers school-to-parent communication and the digital Bulldog Blasts newsletter, the Arbiter platform manages athletic scheduling and livestreaming, eFundsePay handles parent fee payments, and a YouTube channel (ACJSHS Live) broadcasts athletic events. No proprietary software product is developed or sold. Accessibility compliance is maintained under Section 504 and Title II of the Rehabilitation Act using WCAG 2.0-2.1 A/AA guidelines.

Revenue derives primarily from state and local public education funding channeled through USD 365, supplemented by small per-semester program fees (e.g., $75 for Flint Hills Automotive, $50 minimum for CNA, $10 minimum for HVAC/Welding, $25 per art class) and facility rental income (e.g., $150/hour or $1,000/day for whole-building commercial rental). Administrative leadership consists of Principal Marshall Nienstedt (who also serves as Athletic/Activities Director) and Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Vestal Teeter. The school is governed by the USD 365 board with no private equity, venture capital, or external ownership interests.
