KHHS Marching Band - Congratulations!
Over Fall Break, the Band hosted two major marching events. This past Saturday, they hosted the Knight Time Classic, where they performed in exhibition and received outstanding judges’ sheets and comments. Earlier this week, the Band hosted the MSBOA District 10 Marching Band Festival and earned straight A’s and eight A+ ratings from all three judges! The Band will conclude their competition season this coming Saturday at Mona Shores. Congratulations to the Band on a fantastic job and an incredible season!

KHHS Fall Play - Miracle on 34th Street - November 13-15 at 7 PM - $10 Tickets
Miracle in 34th Street is a heartwarming holiday story. By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy's customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy's vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris committed to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl's belief in Santa.

Students must be present and are required to show their current KHHS student ID at time of purchase. Limit 1 ticket per student.

New Raptor Visitor Management System
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe and secure learning environments, we are excited to announce the implementation of the Raptor Visitor Management System beginning this school year. This new system will replace our traditional paper sign-in process and provide a more effective way to monitor and track visitors, volunteers, and guests on campus.

When visiting our school, guests will check in at the front office by presenting a government-issued photo ID. The Raptor system will:

• Instantly screen IDs against public sex offender databases.
• Maintain an accurate and secure record of all campus visitors.
• Print a visitor badge with the guest’s name, photo, and date for easy identification while on school grounds.

For those wishing to volunteer, please remember that a district background check is required annually in addition to the Raptor sign-in process. To begin this step, simply bring your photo ID to the front office.

We appreciate your support in helping us strengthen campus safety. With your partnership, we can ensure a safe learning environment for every student.
