What a fantastic way to wrap up the school year! Our KECHS Student Council students had an unforgettable end-of-year trip, kicking things off with a visit to the state capitol—where they toured the building, learned more about how government works, and even had the chance to sit in on a live session. It was a great way to connect their leadership roles with real-world civic engagement!
Afterwards, they celebrated a year of hard work and accomplishments with a fun afternoon at Topgolf. Laughter, friendly competition, and great memories all around!
We’re so proud of this incredible group of student leaders. Here's to a great year and an even brighter future!

Our Spanish Club members wanted to share the Hispanic culture with their fellow peers. It was an amazing performance by some very young and talented students. Our Spanish Club consists of President Gabby Hare, VP Morgan Butler, Treasurer Lauren Sandoval, and members Brody Bursiel, Yulissa Beltran, Georgia Cross, Brooke Garcia, Liliana Monsevais and Sponsor Coach Artie De La Rosa. We want to send a big THANK YOU to Ricardo ISD for sharing their students with us.
