News from KHS
Dear Parents and Families, Kaiserslautern High School celebrated an amazing graduation and Senior Awards Ceremony. It was an emotional and meaningful celebration as we honored the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our graduating class. Watching our seniors walk across the stage and reflect on their journeys reminded us all of the strength, resilience, and promise they carry into the future. We are proud to recognize Jace Martin, our valedictorian, and Lauren Trace, our salutatorian, for their outstanding academic achievements and leadership. Their dedication set a remarkable example for all KHS students. Our graduates are embarking on many exciting paths. Some will be attending colleges and universities around the world, others will proudly serve in the military, and many are entering trade schools or joining the workforce. Each path is valuable, and we are incredibly proud of every single one of our students. They represent the very best of the DOWEA community. Please note that Tuesday, June 9th is the last day of school, and students will be dismissed at 11:20 a.m. Students should not bring backpacks on Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. It has been an honor to work with your children, and we wish all of our graduates the very best as they take their next steps. With pride and appreciation, Susan C. Paul, Ed.D. Principal Kaiserslautern High School
