Welcome to Kenowa Hills Public Schools, and thank you for visiting our website. As the 2008-2009 school year begins, I want to share the vision our leadership team developed last school year. As we worked to define how to better serve our students, we developed what we call our hedgehog concept. The idea for the hedgehog concept was developed by Jim Collins in his book, Good to Great. Establishing a hedgehog concept provides our district with a clear and concise statement of where to focus our energies each and every day. After much conversation, we agreed that our hedgehog concept will be “high levels of learning for each and every student.” |

On Wednesday, December 3, Kenowa Hills High School National Honor Society members hosted Senior Citizen Day. Many grandparents and community members joined the 75 students for breakfast and fellowship. Music was provided by the Kenowa Hills Jazz Band, a volunteer organization that meets after school. Following breakfast, senior guests were treated to special arts performances by the Kenowa Hills High School Orchestra, Kenowa Hills Dance Team, Kenowa Hills Competitive Cheer Team, and the Kenowa Hills Marching Knights. This annual tradition continues to be a huge success and a great time was had by all. Thank you to all the grandparents and community seniors for braving the cold weather to join us! |
