We believe it is everyone's responsibility to strive to ensure our campus is a physically safe space for all students, teachers, and other staff.
One of the easiest ways we can all help achieve that is to keep doors shut and secure at all times which minimizes security threats that may happen on school property. The simple steps of not propping doors open, closing doors you see propped open, and not allowing guests to enter the building during school hours other than through the front office, are essential to keeping our campus secure.
We appreciate everyone's help in keeping our campus as safe as possible!

The KM Booster Club is looking for a Social Media Coordinator, and a Concession Co-Lead for the 2024-25 school year.
The KM Booster Club supports KMHS student-athletes with proceeds from the volunteer-run concession stands and other KM Booster sponsored events.
Please contact Vicki Rock at vrocklasers@gmail.com if you are interested in these FUN opportunities.
All student-athletes are required to volunteer 4 hours/per sport in the concession stands during the school year through the Booster Club. The Booster Club oversees the concession stands for the various sporting events. It is recommended that each student-athlete and/or parent volunteer several times throughout the year with these opportunities.
For every hour a student-athlete and/or parent volunteers, the hours go toward the sports program of their choice. The Booster Club records those hours and then can support volunteer-designated teams financially as needs arise. Funds can go toward equipment, uniforms, coaches fees, buses, etc.
There are endless opportunities to volunteer and most shifts are in two-hour increments. So grab a teammate and volunteer!
Students that volunteer may use those hours toward the Dick Ohm Merit Award, school club volunteer hours, required sporting team hours, and more.
