Welcome to KPS
Our twenty-five schools are safe and supportive places. We foster student-centered environments that value inclusivity, collaboration, and open-mindedness. We firmly believe in achieving academic excellence while nurturing the diverse needs of our students.
The diversity of KPS is a big part of what makes KPS great. Learning in an environment with different cultures and perspectives benefits all students and better prepares them for life in a global community. Whatever your background, wherever you're from, we are glad you are here!
Dr. Darrin Slade, Superintendent
