About the Provider
K.P.E.S has a rich history within its community. Two of its foundational leaders have been honored by having local schools named after them, John W. Paisley Middle School and the former Albert H. Anderson High School. K.P.E.S. was constructed and officially opened in 1925. After the school faced adversity by being burned down, it was reconstructed in the 1960's into the structure we see today.
