After reading the novel last semester, seniors were given the opportunity on January 21st to attend a performance of The Outsiders: A New Musical at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, TN. This enriching experience brought the novel to life and enhanced students’ understanding of the story.
Message from the Superintendent
Good evening, families and community members,
We are looking forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and we are excited to see everyone back on campus! Please note that school will be in session, and while road conditions have improved in most areas, our buses will not travel on roads that remain covered in ice. Student safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. We also ask everyone to use extreme caution when loading and unloading at each campus. Students, don’t forget to bring your Chromebook back to school with you!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We can’t wait to see our students tomorrow!

What a great day to celebrate Senior, Ella Gardner! Today she signed to continue playing volleyball with Lyon College.
Ella has continued to be an exceptional leader academically, in the sport of volleyball in season and out, and in the weight room. That work ethic has gotten Ella to this point and will continue to set her apart.
She has been a 4 year Varsity starter, All-District and All-Conference each year, Setter of the Year her Junior year, and a SEMOBALL Award finalist from last season. With 1500+ Career Assists and 500+ Career Digs she has also been a leader in the success of our volleyball program at KHS.
We are PRETTY PROUD!! 💛
NEVER SETTLE, Ella🫡
