Accolades of Success
KHS held its annual awards ceremony on May 13, 2014 at 7 p.m. in the Keating theatre. The awards are usually given to seniors but underclassmen can receive them. Awards include department awards, sports awards, scholarships, and leadership awards. “To be able to come together and have one more opportunity to be with the seniors and celebrate their accomplishments during their four years of high school is great,” Mike Wade, senior principal, said.
