Decision Day celebrations for the class of 2026! 🎉

KSCAC advisors spent the spring planning Decision Day events to honor graduating seniors and their exciting next steps.

From one advisor, “I loved seeing the senior class enjoy Decision Day and appreciating all the prep work that went into it. My school community really showed up for them. It’s been a highlight to see teachers, staff, and family rally around the next generation and celebrate their journeys.”

Congratulations, class of 2026! We can’t wait to see what you accomplish next! 👏

April all-team training offered a chance to reflect on the school year, learn from each other, and hear from several guest speakers.

We reflected on an exciting milestone and previewed what’s next for KSCAC — more on that soon! 👀
