It has been nearly 10 years since Fan et al. released the first sample of high redshift (5.5 < z < 6.5) quasars found as i dropouts in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In the intervening decade the sample of high redshift quasars has grown only slowly. Only recently was the first redshift 7 quasar found in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). With a survey area of 30,000 square degrees, i and z depth superior to SDSS and a y band centered around 1000 nm, Pan-STARRS is poised vastly increase the sample of i dropout (5.5 < z < 6.5) quasars and discover a significant sample of z dropout quasars (6.5 < z < 7.5). We report on the early observations in both of these areas.
