Welcome to Perry-Lecompton School District #343, home of the Kaws!  We are proud of our northeast Kansas location, nestled in the fertile Kansas River Valley, with scenic bluffs situated above the Kansas (Kaw) River as it winds through the district.  The district's 153 square miles of forested hills, and rich farm ground, provide scenic vistas plus outstanding recreational opportunities while situated between Clinton Lake and Perry Reservoir.

We offer the best of both worlds, while our communities are rural-- they are centrally located in close proximity to the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City.  Institutions of higher learning are within short travel distance at The University Kansas in Lawrence and Washburn University in Topeka.

Four communities are located in our school district including Grantville, Lecompton, Perry, and Williamstown.  Each community has a rich history and is proud of their heritage while offering a safe, small-town living environment.
