COMMUNITY EVENTS
Part of our mission is to bring the community together in meaningful ways.

LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
KIHS Leadership Cohort was created to give students an avenue to strengthen and display their leadership skills with their peers. With a heavy focus on finding out who they are as individuals, students are able to use this knowledge to discover what they can contribute to their community. Members hold monthly 'Lunch & Serve's to get all students involved in giving back & spreading positivity on campus.

BREAKFAST
Breakfast is provided for students when they meet twice a month before the start of the school day.
SCHOLARSHIPS
In our Win The Day Essay Contest, we invite students to express themselves through their writing by explaining what "winning the day" means to them. Both middle and high school students are honored throughout the year and awarded with scholarships for having a true understanding of what "winning the day" means and living each day with a positive mindset on how to achieve this daily goal.
