Bond 2020
UPDATES

The foundation for the turf field is nearly complete. The turfing contractor is scheduled to begin turf installation on June 12th and anticipates the project will take about 3 weeks to complete. Work will begin on the track once the turf installation is complete. The video scoreboard will most likely be the last to finish.

Turf is Coming to KHPS – Winter 2023 Update
The Knight Athletic complex is getting a new turf field and resurfaced track. Construction will begin in the spring so that the project will be completed for the fall 2023 season. Marching Band, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer, and Track are just some of the many groups and organizations that will be able to compete and perform on the new field and track. Go Knights!

In 2020, our community voted to approve $67,000,000 to fund the following 10 years of improvements at Kenowa Hills. Major focus areas of this bond include our Early Childhood Center (ECC), Middle School, and High School. The final stages of work at the ECC are underway which include:

• Finishing touches on the four newly constructed classrooms, a large shared learning space, and a three-season room;
• Installation of the outdoor playscapes, paving work, and the addition of ground cover throughout the playground areas.

In contrast, work has begun at our Middle School where all classrooms, restrooms, and common spaces will be renovated in phases over the next few years. Areas currently being renovated include:

• Auditorium and media center, which will become re-purposed spaces;
• Four classrooms, one set of restrooms;
• Courtyard between the cafeteria and media center to accommodate outdoor use.

Major focus areas of this bond include our Early Childhood Center (ECC), Middle School, and High School. Phase 1 of construction is currently underway and on schedule at the ECC and we are thrilled with the progress. Amidst all the dust and demolition, things are beginning to take shape. Soon you will notice:
• An entrance off Kinney
• An additional secure entrance and office space for childcare
• An updated heating and cooling system and an updated fire
suppression system
• Two new daycare classrooms; including a new infant care room,
coming the end of August
• More classrooms will be completed in October
Keep an eye on our updates!

We can’t wait to show off the progress! Keep checking back for progress updates!

Fellow Knights,

I am thrilled to report the bond proposal passed! Thank you to all who supported this proposal by voting yes on the ballot and to the many individuals and groups who worked tirelessly under very difficult circumstances to inform and advocate for this proposal and ultimately our students.

I couldn’t be more proud of the Facility Study Team that spent hours over the course of last year studying and discussing our school buildings and grounds. I applaud our Board of Education for not only having the courage to put this proposal on the ballot, but to also keep the proposal on the ballot given the current circumstances we all face. They did so after careful deliberation with the understanding the voting process could be conducted safely in this first ever all absentee ballot election. Finally, I want to thank the Knights for Education. This group of dedicated, unselfish parents, community members and staff spent hours of their personal time advocating for our students. They exemplified what it means to have Knight Pride!

We look forward to the work that lies ahead. Thank you for your ongoing support.
