Transparency Report
Dear Kenowa Hills Middle School Families,
What a fantastic week it’s been at Kenowa Hills Middle School! Our halls have been filled with energy, creativity, and Knight pride. From our wonderful Orchestra Concert to the fun door decorating contest in Connect classes, our students continue to impress with their teamwork and school spirit.
A quick reminder: our Superintendent recently shared an email about athletics, and we’re excited to cheer on our Varsity Football Team as they host a home playoff game tonight! Please note that all students must purchase a ticket for any playoff game.
It’s been great to see so many students getting involved in both classrooms and activities. Some after-school clubs will begin this week, and our Fall athletic events are also kicking off — we’re looking forward to cheering on our student-athletes as they represent KHMS with pride. Check the newsletter for more details on both!
A special thank-you to Meijer of Grandville for their generous $450 donation to our Parent Group — your support helps make KHMS an even better place to learn and grow.
Let’s keep the momentum going into another great week at KHMS!
Mr. Dodge
Principal, Kenowa Hills Middle School

Safety and Security Commitment to Anti-Bullying Creating Inclusive Environments Safety DrillsLife is busy. At Kenowa Hills, we partner with families to make life easier.
TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
