Students in Mrs. Rebelo's ESL High Beginners Course crafted an original play about a significant moment in their lives. The students, all of whom are seniors, chose to reenact the heartbreaking County Final soccer match against St. Peter's. Bravo on superb acting skills and an intense reenactment of the game!
Mrs. Hatfield's Success students finished a Unit on global cultures. They presented projects giving insights into each region's culture and demographics, then enjoyed a "World Unity" luncheon featuring authentic dishes reflective of their chosen countries! @NJDOE #PowerofEducators #GoodNewsinNJSchools

Congratulations to Mr. Conde and the KHS Concert Band for winning Top Honors today at the Hudson County Teen Art Festival at NJCU. Next is the States!
The band's performance today was stellar and truly magical. The student’s radiated confidence and passion, that was felt by all! Mr. Conde is an outstanding conductor and with him on the podium, the performance was a conversation with the musicians and audience. He showed true passion for each score and his students followed his lead.
Under the tutelage of Mr. Conde, the students' hard work, perseverance and countless hours of dedication made the Top Honor Award that much more rewarding! Special thanks to Mr. Pamaar for working with percussionists and assisting them to reach such a high level of play.
KHS to my knowledge has never received a Top Honor Award for Concert Band at Teen Arts, nor attended the festival until last year under Mr. Conde's direction. What an amazing accomplishment!!!!!
Thank you everyone for your support!! A special thank you to the our parents an students!!
The Optimists Club visited KHS today. They had the opportunity to visit classrooms, speak with students and have lunch made by our Culinary students. KHS pride and positive energy was truly evident in our halls today. 🐦

Our very own Anita Soja is a published poet. Her poem, "First Ink" will be published in The NJ Bards Poetry Review 2024. (Tentative publication in June.) The poem is below.
To honor her father a cardinal will appear
rib side, petite, just the outline.
I've no inclination to fight this youthful, earnest fancy.
She knows emotional pain more than physical, pumped up like a boxer ready to leave his corner.
She's choosing thin skin for her commemoration.
A hidden place on her body
to carry an abundance of memories,
overflowing from her heart.

🔍📚 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined in for the KHS REACH-Success Scavenger Hunt! Our kids had a blast exploring and connecting with their favorite teachers and important offices. Beginning our adventure with "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" set the perfect tone, as each mission lead them to different parts of our school, just like in the book. It was a joy to see them navigate and make new friends along the way! #REACHSuccess #ScavengerHuntFun 🌟
The students enrolled in the Hudson County Community College Program took part in a nature hike at the Morristown National Historical Park in Jockey Hollow. On the 5 mile hike they were able to examine recreated soldier huts from George Washington's encampment, read information from historical markers and interact with members of the National Park Service.
Following the hike, the students were bused to the Washington Headquarters Museum in Morristown where they were able to view historical artifacts from the period, watch interactive videos, and read historical information related to the period. The trip was chaperoned by teachers Michael Bayer, Trish Hoehe, and counselor Dorian Fasciano.
