High School

Students looked at the roles and responsibilities of parents. With that they analyzed what age is the best age to become a parent. We had a range from age 24-33. As a class they explained why it is harder to become a parent as a teen or in 40s or older. They also explained the benefits for become a parent in mid 20s & early 30s.

On November 1-3, 10 Knoxville FFA members attended the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis.

Fall conferences are coming to KHS and this year we wanted to try something a little different. Communication between parents and teachers happen almost every single day, which makes many parents find high school conferences unnecessary. So this fall we would like to cordially invite you to our first ever Parent EdCamp on November 1st and 2nd and become the student for the evening. During this time you can experience some of the amazing things we have going on at KHS! Please check out the following links to see the schedule of sessions available, and then schedule yourself into the ones you want to learn more about. For more information on our Fall Conference/Parent EdCamp, please refer to the email that was sent on October 20th. Also, you will find descriptions for the sessions on the Sign-up Genius link.

FCS class Food and Nutrition completed their kitchen math unit on Wednesday with cake 🎂 Students used conversions to divide a recipe down from a pan cake to a mug cake. Students' final part of the test was to make their mug cake with accurate measuring (otherwise, their cake might explode). Comlete with frosting and then clean up. Favorite test of the term. #SayYesToFCS #SoftSkills #EverydayMath

To introduce our unit, students performed tasks mothers do every day. They helped one another put on the pregnancy belly simulator and completed 5 tasks: tie/untie shoes, pick up objects from the floor, carry laundry around the room, step up/down and sit on the floor and get back up. 🤰🏁 #SayYestoFCS

Students completed a science experiment in Foods and Nutrition 1. They looked at the importance of each ingredient and how it affects the outcome of the cookie.
