Principal's Message
A bittersweet day at KHS. It was the last day for the Class of 2025. I've so enjoyed getting to know these amazing human beings. It has been one of the highlights of my career.
BIG BUSY week next week! Hang on!
Be sure to come see the spring play Romeo and Juliet on Monday and Tuesday night at KHS. The students have been working hard to pull this together on a very tight timeline. I'm so excited to see what they have done.
Next, check out the list of honors awarded to our students who take part in the fantastic opportunities that SRTC provides. You've heard me say what a fantastic experience this is for our students, and the honors they received are a good indication of how our incredible students are taking advantage of these opportunities. Congratulations to all of you. We are so proud of your accomplishments.
HEY LOOK!!! Camdyn Keenan scored 300 points!!!! Amazing!
Finally, I want to clarify our schedule for the rest of the year for 9-11th graders:
Classes continue through Wednesday, June 11th which will be our final White Day of the year. Final Exams take place on Thursday the 12th through Tuesday the 17th, with the morning of Wednesday the 18th being where any make-up exams will happen.
Peace,
