Rossville residents gain cultural perspective through interactions with foreign exchange students

For a 3A Kansas high school with an average of about 250 students, hosting nine to 10 foreign exchange students in one academic year is a little unusual.

But Toby McCollough, principal of Rossville Junior-Senior High School, embraces those numbers.

“With us being a rural community, this is a good way for our kids to get that culture that may already be at another school,” McCollough said of his school’s foreign exchange student program. “We try to reap the benefits from them (foreign exchange students) being here.”
