Fall Regional STUCO Conferences = September 22-25 and September 29-October 2
Conference host locations will be announced in May. The KSHSAA is excited to bring speaker Kate Garnes to Regional Conferences this year! Originally hailing from the heart of Missouri, Kate grew up as an only child with a powerful single mom. Navigating the world feeling smaller than her peers, she found herself on an exhausting quest for perfection—a journey that many teens today still grapple with. But Kate’s story is one of resilience. From being told she’d never be “good enough” to creating magic for audiences as a performer at Walt Disney World, to being a published author and gladiator she transformed her narrative and became her own gladiator, not because anyone saved her, but because she learned how to save herself. Kate brings a unique blend of energy, humor, and heartfelt connection to her audiences. Her infectious passion and relatable journey have captivated hearts from California to Florida. Registration fee is $10 per Student. Advisors are free. Online registration will be accessible in August on the KSHSAA website. Come discover your inner Gladiator Leader!
