Message from the Principal
We hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with your families. Our students returned just in time for final exams concluding the first trimester. Amazingly, the second trimester for the 2023-2024 school year begins Monday, December 4.
Every year our juniors engage in ACT Prep classes to prepare for the state test in spring. Half of our juniors will take part in eight math sessions during Morning 30 in December, while the other half will do so in January. Prep classes for English, reading, and science will take place the final week of January and into February. All juniors will be provided assigned dates in advance, and are expected make arrangements to attend these mornings. We have seen excellent results from active participation, and expect nothing less for this year's junior class.
The arrival of December means that our winter sports and activities are officially in full swing. Be sure to check our our athletics and events calendars below. Additionally, follow us on X @KHSPride for the latest updates. Nothing warms the winter months more than a packed field house.
KHS is currently seeking someone to fill our Attendance Secretary position. The position is school year only, with hours of 7:00 am - 3:30 pm. Please refer anyone interested to job listing 184658 on the WECAN website, or contact Mark Bingham at mbingham@kewaskumschools.org.
Finally, I want to share with everyone that my final day at KHS will be June 30, 2024. I am leaving to serve as superintendent for the Plymouth Joint School District - effective July 1, 2024. This is currently my ninth year as principal of KHS, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have worked with a talented staff to serve our students and families. Kewaskum is a special place, and I'm fortunate to have been a part of this great school district.
Be well,
Scott Stier - KHS Principal
