There is a great public education system throughout the county where students repeatedly win national honors in academics, forensics and music. The Parsons High School has been particularly aggressive about pulling technology into the classroom, including CAD, robotics and advanced welding.

Check out the websites to the various schools in Labette County:
 

 

 

    

Labette Community College is a real asset to the area, with the most popular majors of Nursing, Business/Industrial Supervision, and Radiography.  More than $4 million in work-place training has been provided to major employers, and surveys show that employers are very satisfied with the knowledge and ability levels of LCC students who have completed curricula in technical programs. 
 

While LCC’s student body is generally one of commuters the college also offers outstanding sports programs, with wrestling and women’s basketball repeatedly competing on a national level.

 

 

 

 

Parsons State Hospital and Training Center is one of two residential treatment, training, and care facilities operated by the State of Kansas to serve individuals with intellectual disabilities. PSH&TC has enjoyed a national and international reputation in the field of intellectual disabilities primarily as the result of a 40 year relationship with the University of Kansas Lifespan Institute. This affiliation has created many significant advances in research. PSH&TC also provides outstanding community services to residents in a Birth-to-Three program.
