Activities at our school continue to occur at a steady pace! Academics are a high priority as we set our sights on final exams in just over a month’s time. The top priority of this week is our High School Graduation which takes place Saturday, May 9th. Graduation Exercises for our 36 Graduates begins at 3:00pm in the gymnasium. This day will honor a significant milestone in the Educational accomplishments of these young ladies and gentlemen!

Monday of this week will see our students take part in Student Vote Day – setting the stage for Tuesday’s actual provincial election.

Tuesday evening will also be a grade 9 parent meeting. Information will be shared in regards to program alternatives & selection requirements for grade 9’s entering into High School (grade 10).

Speaking of grade 10’s, they will be travelling to TRY-A-TRADE on Wednesday for an informational day of career opportunities.

Additionally throughout this week our Track & Field athletes will continue to hone their skills for upcoming track competitions. As one can see, the action, both Academically and Extra-curricular wise, is certainly broad & Exciting!

Athletics!

 Kitscoty Junior Senior High has just recently completed another very successful badminton season. The junior high team consisting of 50 athletes competed in ten separate tournaments, four of which we hosted. The overall results were very impressive with the team regularly advancing to the play-offs and winning numerous medals. The season's success culminated with the team winning the BTRD North Championship banner and placing second in the overall BTRD championship.
 The senior high team consisted of a much smaller number of athletes but they too represented KHS extremely well.In the three tournaments the team attended the our athletes advanced to 9 of the possible 14 play-off spots and brought home 6 medals.The season ended with three of our team members competing at the Zone Championships where Kenny Lord was a quarter finalist and the team of Dallas Hines and Ashton Oakes won the bronze medal.
 Congratulations to all the athletes who helped make our program so strong and successful.
