We would like to reflect on the contributions from 1776 financials and the Dittrich family as they celebrate the life of Mr. Scott Dittrich. Scott and his son Mark were instrumental in upgrading Macktaz Field to the Turf Field Complex it is today. Today, we take a minute to celebrate the life and contributions that Mr. Dittrich made for all Warriors to enjoy. He will be missed.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mobley

Students should be checking their email for their assigned location. They will report to that location immediately after homeroom. It is critical that they come to school with their Chromebook charged. They MUST use their KPHS assigned Chromebook. All students must achieve a passing score to earn their diploma.

Students must not have any other electronic devices with them while in their testing location. This includes cell phones and smart watches. If they do their test will be invalidated and it may delay their graduation.

Rhianna Mason, Anna Poggi, and Kiera Evans competed in the National History Day hosted by the Massachusetts Historical Society. These students chose to celebrate the pioneering work of American Civil Rights activist Ella Baker, organizer of the Southern Christian Leadership conference and close colleague of Dr. King. She was also a cofounder of Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee which worked with College students in the 1960’s in sponsoring numerous sit-in’s protests throughout the south to oppose segregation and demand equal treatment for black Americans. Her leadership has often been overlooked due to the notoriety of other leaders during the Civil Rights movements but her contributions were many.

This was KP's first year competing, and these three students were recognized by the judges for an outstanding presentation, being awarded Honorable Mention in this our first year of competition.
