The Kansas Board of Regents has recognized 217 high schools as Apply Kansas All Star High Schools. This recognition program honors the work that Kansas high schools do to help students apply to and access college.

The All Star High School program was launched in 2022 as part of the Apply Kansas mission to enhance college access by guiding students through the application process.  To be named an All Star High School, a school must host an Apply Kansas college application event, sponsor or collaborate on a FAFSA completion event, and host a senior signing day to celebrate all college and career pathways chosen by students.

Area high schools honored are Blue Valley-Randolph, Clay Center, Clifton-Clyde, Concordia, Linn, Marysville, Riley County, Wakefield, and Washington County.

The 217 high schools recognized throughout the state in 2025 is the largest number to date.
