Best Today, Better Tomorrow!
Howdy Lions!
I cannot believe it is already December. We only have 14 days left in the school year of 2022!
Many activities are going on at KHS over the last couple weeks of the fall semester. The LEO Club is in full swing and will be visiting the Kaufman Lions Club. Adopt-A-Kid and the Dodgeball Tournament are occurring next Friday. An archery tournament will be held at KHS next week. Both basketball teams are approaching district quickly and are in tournaments this weekend. Robotics will be at the State Meet this Thursday through Saturday. Also, our choir and band each have concerts coming up soon. Hope to see you at many of these events.
Students should be preparing for semester exams. These are important benchmarks and the schedule for the three days of exams is posted below.
Last, but not least, seniors, your end-of-year schedule, information about Senior Trip, and Graduation activities are posted in the "Senior Section". Please check it out!
Thanks & GO LIONS!
"What-A-Kid" Students of the Month
Crystal is a member of our LEO club that serves the Kaufman community. She is also a state bound participant in TAFE. As part of her TAFE experience, she shadowed Ms. Arroyo in her Spanish classes for eight hours and then made high marks on a presentation to a group of TAFE judges.
Jackson is a stellar student with tremendous character! He is currently taking multiple Advanced Placement and Honors courses. He is a member of our Honor Roll while also performing in our UIL State Qualifying Marching Band.
Congratulations to both of these exceptional students!
