Building
KMHS was previously the largest school in the area in which the middle and high schools shared a building. The middle school section, which held grades 7 and 8, had a capacity of approximately 300 students. The high school, grades 9-12, held approximately 600. The middle and high school programs also shared certain areas, such as art and FACS. The building is now used solely for high school classes. A new middle school building for grades 5-8 opened for classes in September 2009.
The building contains two separate gymnasiums. The North Gym is larger and is used for high school lunch. The South Gym is used for high school P.E., and it also contains an attached stage for plays and music concerts because the building does not house a separate auditorium.
In the summer of 2015, remodeling began to add new Career-Tech shops, as well as a new auditorium.[1]
