April 17, 2017
Hello, KHS Families. We have a great week ahead of us. On Friday students finished the 5th grading period. Next week we will be finalizing GPA's for the senior class and soon we will be notifying the top 10% graduates in the Class of 2017.
Congratulations to our track teams that qualified for area. Rhett Robinson and Johanna Drews were both declared District Champions. Congratulations to Alex Dast on qualifying for Regionals in Golf! Congratulations to our state-qualifying FFA Teams! Good luck to our Tennis teams as they begin the Regional tournament this week.
This next week we have much to learn as we make final preparations before STAAR EOC's and AP exams. In addition, we will conclude the final district games for our softball and baseball teams. Friday night is Senior Night for both baseball and softball. We invite you to join us to honor our seniors.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the many events throughout the week. We hope you can join us Monday night to celebrate the accomplishments of Basketball and Cross Country. We hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
Go Bobcats!
