Laser Tech is headed to STATE!

Congratulations to FTC Robotics Team “Laser Tech” on its victory last weekend at the “Frozen Frenzy” Qualifier in Saint Francis, WI. Laser Tech is now qualified to compete at the State Championship competition at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) on March 2. This will be Laser Tech’s fifth consecutive year competing at the State competition!

Beat the January blues with a night of laughter at "Saturday Night Lasers," the KMHS original sketch comedy show!

Inspired by the well-known late-night television show Saturday Night Live, KM Drama Club takes the stage on January 27 @ 7 pm with a great show for the whole KM Community.

A fully student-written and produced show, organized by KM Drama Club and student directors Edith Cramer and Mirannda Kepplinger.

Tickets are available at the door for $5 OR a donation of non-perishable food items/hygiene items for the Kettle Moraine Food Pantry.

Advance Ticket Sales Opportunity!

We will be promoting this in conjunction with the DockHounds next month but wanted to give our KM Community advance options to purchase tickets.

KM Day at the DockHounds will be May 22, 2024, at 6:35 pm. Join us as the Lake Country DockHounds take on the Milwaukee Milkmen at WBC Park. This will be a fun night to celebrate with your KM Community, show your support, and watch a great game against Milwaukee!

For every ticket sold, $3 will be donated back to the district. As an extra incentive, KM, Arrowhead, and Oconomowoc will be competing for an additional $1/ticket by selling the most tickets through the link below for their respective night.
