The Lonsdale Elementary community has something big to celebrate: the school has officially exited the state’s Priority school list, marking an important milestone years in the making.

KCS reached a major milestone this year with record-setting student growth! From districtwide achievements to Austin-East High’s remarkable growth, students, teachers, and school communities are showing what’s possible when we rise together.

Students at Central High are taking the lead in a remarkable conservation effort through the school’s Monarch Butterfly Project—an initiative that blends science, curiosity, and hands-on learning in powerful ways.

Students at Gibbs Middle have been getting a taste of something special with the school’s new café, The Daily Drip—a project designed to blend learning, collaboration, and hands-on experience in a fun, innovative way.

 Students at Austin-East High have taken storytelling into their own hands, producing Setting It Straight: The Austin-East Documentary, a project that highlights the excellence, creativity, and pride of their school. 

For most students, World War II is something learned only from textbooks. But Central High JROTC cadets Noah Keese, Bella Glass, and Aden Hirsch got a firsthand look at history when they interviewed Gaylon Wilson, a 100-year-old WWII veteran — and a Central alum.
