Eisenhower student Abigail Perez (Junior) received the Editor's Choice Award for poetry in the 2026 edition of Voices of Kansas. Abby was formally honored during the opening session of the Kansas Association of Teachers of English conference. She was voted by the Review Board as the top choice for the state of Kansas. Abby stood next to several AP English students from Derby High School. She read her poem "The Radio" to a room of English teachers from across the entire state of Kansas. This was a big moment for Abby, but despite her nerves, she did amazingly well.

If you see Abby, please congratulate her on a well deserved honor.
