“A Legacy of Learning: Honoring Our District Retirees” is the title of our latest Inspire and Impact episode. In this episode we are honored to recognize several of our district retirees. These educators and support staff have dedicated years of service to our students and schools. Their work has not only impacted classrooms, but has helped build the culture and heart of our district. Retirement is not just an ending, it is a celebration of a legacy.
We thank them for your years of dedication, their care for students, their commitment to excellence, and the countless ways they have strengthened our schools. Their impact will continue long after their final day in the classroom or office. It lives on in the students they’ve taught, the colleagues they’ve supported, and the culture they’ve helped build.
On behalf of our entire district, we wish them joy, rest, and fulfillment in this next chapter.

The students did a fantastic job showcasing the agriculture CTE program at KDHS. Mr. Mulder, Assistant Principal, also noted that the program’s 5-year audit from PDE was a success. Well done, everyone!
