TOPEKA (KSNT) – Geary County Superintendent Reginald Eggleston expressed his gratitude for being recognized as the 2026 Kansas Superintendent of the Year by the Kansas School Superintendents Association.
Eggleston has served as superintendent for USD 475 since 2019. He said the district has seen improvements in test scores along with retaining and recruiting staff. Under his leadership, USD 475 implemented a new strategic plan that Eggleston says has been “the impetus for all the great things that are taking place.”
“It’s a humbling recognition, I have to admit,” Eggleston said. “I have a fantastic staff, a great executive team, outstanding teachers and administrators who do great work serving our students and our community.”
