Developing Talents and Interests
KPHS’s individualized approach tailors club offerings to students’ interests. These have included everything from culinary arts to gaming, robotics to volleyball. Each club is designed to inspire students to develop their talents, explore their passions, and make meaningful connections beyond the classroom.
All club offerings for the school year will be based on student interest and availability.
