Wyandotte High School: Preserving Tradition While Creating Accessibility

Wyandotte High School has long stood as an important landmark in the Kansas City, Kansas community, representing generations of students, educators, and memories. 

As the school continues to serve its students and community, improvements to the building have helped ensure that its historic character and educational mission remain accessible to everyone.

Recent improvements focused on making the historic building more accessible to students, staff, and visitors.

Exterior work included regrading the front yard to create an accessible route to the auditorium, adding a ramp at the main entrance, and constructing a parking lot near the gym with required ADA parking spaces and accessible routes.

Interior improvements included installing multiple stair lifts and adding a ramp to provide access to the gymnasium court level.

These improvements help ensure that Wyandotte High School remains a welcoming and accessible place for everyone while continuing to serve its community.
