PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
We have a big week coming up Panther Nation. Not only is it the week before Spring Break, but we also have Parent/Teacher Conferences this week. Parent/Teacher Conferences are a great opportunity to build a connection between school and home. You all have been doing so many great things here at KHS and now is the time for you to have your parents/guardians come and hear all about you and your academic enterprises. So be sure to get your parents and/or guardian in the car and come visit your teachers on Wednesday or Thursday night from 3:30-7:00. Have a great week and a great SPRING BREAK!
