Welcome Class of 2028
We are thrilled to have you join us as the newest members of Kirkwood High School! As you begin this exciting journey into high school, we want you to know that you are stepping into a place full of community, tradition, and excellence. High school is a time of growth, discovery, and new experiences, and we are here to help you navigate every step of the way.
Your freshman year is a chance to explore new subjects, make lifelong friends, and start building the foundation for your future. We encourage you to take advantage of all the resources and activities available to you. Whether you are passionate about academics, arts, athletics, or clubs, there are countless opportunities for you to get involved and make the most of your KHS experience.
Remember, the transition to high school can be overwhelming at times, but you are not alone. Our teachers, counselors, and staff are here to support you and guide you toward success. We look forward to watching you grow, learn, and achieve great things over the next four years. Together, we can make this a memorable and successful chapter in your life!
- Mr. Clark
Assistant Principal, Class of 2028
