Hello!

As we have reached the holiday season, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the journey we have shared through the fall semester. I would like to express my gratitude for being apart of Knoxville High School.

This semester has been filled with accomplishments that highlight our commitment to promoting a positive learning environment and fostering academic excellence. Together, we have supported one another, celebrated achievements, and persevered through challenges. This commitment to teamwork is what truly makes the KHS community exceptional.

This holiday season I hope all of you take time to relax and recharge as you create memories with family, friends, and loved ones. As we welcome the new year, let's continue to build on the energy and momentum that we have created so far. I am excited to see the continued growth that is ahead.

I wish each of you a joyful holiday season and thank you for being apart of the KHS community.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Adam Mize

FAFSA OPENS DECEMBER 1st

Thank you to the families who attended our College 101 night on November 19th. If your student plans to attend college; I strongly encourage them to apply for their FSA ID if they have not already done so. They will need to have this step completed prior to being able to complete the FAFSA. Completing the FAFSA is necessary for schools to determine your financial need and for you to be awarded any type of federal aid or loans. Additionally, completing the FAFSA is a graduation requirement; even for those not planning to attend college. Sage Lundquist, our local ISAC representative, has offered to meet with families one on one who may want help completing the FAFSA. Her available dates are January 6th, 7th, and 10th. You can sign up through the link below. I will also attach two helpful documents that were shared at the College 101 night.

Book time with Lundquist, Sage B.:
