Sports teams at KHS are full of dedicated students. However, some participate in activities because of parents. Overall, our facilities aren't so bad.

It seems like all the principal or assistant principal care about is students who skip class or are late to class. Racism seems to be a big issue in our school, but it there are no consequences for anyone who makes racist remarks. There is money being put into the school to renovate a couple of things, so that's a positive. We only have one guidance counselor who's office is a social hour all throughout the day, so nothing gets done.
