Mrs. Trahan's Animal Science class was busy getting some hands-on application of anatomy by dissecting chicken legs. Students applied their knowledge of skeletal muscle, tendons, and ligaments. This class lesson also ties quite nicely into the anatomy lessons in 10th grade health. Thank you to Mrs. Trahan and the students for going beyond the book and exploring the real thing to deepen their understanding.

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!
