On the last night of Thespian Conference, drama teacher Steve Landes was inducted into the Kansas Thespian Hall of Fame.

Senior Frankie Haynes said the award means that Landes is an important figure in the Kansas Thespian Society and the society is recognizing him for his hard work.

“I feel like he really deserves it,” Haynes said. “He has been teaching for 20 plus years and he’s a great teacher and puts in lots of hard work, more work than anybody at this school knows about.”

Landes accepted the award and in his speech, said that he felt honored and humbled to receive the award.
