Activities and Clubs

Being involved in school clubs and organizations can be one of the most memorable and enjoyable ingredients of the high school experience. Many former students look back over the years to realize that, because of their involvements in co-curricular activities, the high school years had become some of their most precious.

Don’t have regrets years from now…get involved…"CARPE DIEM" (Seize the Day)!

(Below you will find a short description of most of the organizations offered at KHS. If you want to know more, contact the advisor who is listed or inquire at the principal’s or counselor’s office.)
