KHS Clubs & Organizations

Welcome to our KHS Clubs & Organizations Newsletter, your go-to spot for highlights, updates, and celebrations of the many ways our students get involved! From competitions and community service to meetings and special events, this newsletter is designed to showcase the incredible experiences happening beyond the classroom. We will do our best to keep this updated regularly so you can stay connected to all the great things our students are part of.

My name is Ms. Lajoie, and as the Student Activity Director (and principal’s secretary), I support all things clubs and organizations here at KHS. If you have questions, ideas, or anything club-related, I’m always happy to help!

At KHS, getting involved is what makes the high school experience truly memorable, so stay tuned, stay involved, and don’t be afraid to join the fun!

Students and staff who are interested in starting a new club are encouraged to complete the club proposal form and submit it to Ms. Lajoie to begin the approval process. This is a great opportunity to bring new ideas, interests, and activities to our school community, we look forward to seeing what you create! Click here to access the form!

KHS students are gearing up for a meaningful cause on April 29 with our upcoming Meals of Hope event. The goal is to package 10,000 meals to support individuals and families in need within our community. This collaborative effort brings together several student organizations, including FFA, FBLA, and Student Council, all working together to make a positive impact.

We are now just $300 away from reaching our fundraising goal, and each contribution helps move us closer to a successful event. Thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative so far, we look forward to sharing more updates as the event gets closer!
