THREE KM STUDENTS ACHIEVE NATIONAL MERIT FINALIST HONORS!!!! The following high school students have been recognized as Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Competition: Penelope Whiteside - HS^2, Audra Chesny - HS^2, and Brayden Sikorski - KMHS. More than 1.5 million juniors nationwide entered the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/MNSQT) in the fall of their junior year. The 16,000 semifinalists represented less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors and included the highest scoring entrants in each state. To become a finalist and to be considered for a National Merit scholarship, each student was required to present an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed by their high school, and earn college entrance test scores that confirmed the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying SAT. Winners of Merit Scholarship awards are chosen from the Finalist group based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. Scholarships will be awarded to approximately 7,000 finalists beginning in March, 2024. Congratulations to these outstanding students!!

CLUE: On Stage (High School Edition) | March 8 & 9 @ 7pm, March 10 @ 2pm | KMHS Auditorium
Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins in 1954 at a remote mansion; six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth (the butler), Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up.
Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out...WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!
Content Warning: CLUE: On Stage (High School Edition) includes prop weapons including revolvers and gunshot sound effects. The plot references some mature themes, including various reasons a person may pay blackmail and/or commit murder. The High School Edition is similar to a PG film.
