Mr. Wyatt serves as our High School Head Football Coach and Weight Room Teacher. His nomination highlights the tremendous impact he has made on our students and community:
“Coach Wyatt has been a positive role model since the day he stepped foot back on the KHS campus. His attention to detail, drive for perfection, and caring attitude have made such a positive impact. Coach Wyatt is always pleasant when you see him out in the community, and the first words out of his mouth will be to ask how his players are doing. He is a wonderful asset to our school and community. He isn’t just creating a great team, he is trying to create great men.”
Congratulations, Coach Wyatt! Your leadership, dedication, and positive influence are deeply appreciated by our students, staff, and community.
