For the first time since 2003 the one act team is bringing home a NVC one act plaque! These kids absolutely killed it today and were rewarded with NVC West runner up! On top of that, Courtnie, Trace, Nate, Zayle, and Reece received outstanding actor awards.

This picture isn’t about big awards or top grades—it’s about the kind of students we strive to build and support at KPCS. Students who, without any adult guidance or prompting, took it upon themselves to organize a One-Act practice simply because they wanted to do their best.

This is the student community we are so grateful for at KPCS!

🎨 When you hear “vocabulary and skill development,” what class comes to mind?

Did you guess Art? 👩‍🎨👨‍🎨

KPCS sophomores are taking their vocabulary to the canvas—literally! In Art class, students are mastering color theory, saturation, value, texture, and contrast as they bring their colored pencil drawings to life. 🖍️✨

Learning the language of art means turning words into creativity! 💡🎨

We know we are partial to our school and students, but My! Oh! My! What a wonderful tribute to our veterans. A big shout out to our speakers, our singers, our poetry readers, our serving staff, our clean-up crew, and our greeters, the band, the cookie makers, the teachers that make it all happen and most especially our honored guests - the veterans! May we remember your service throughout the year!
