We would like to gather parent feedback about Kelso High School core values. As we begin our work with our Tier 1 Team, we are gathering feedback from staff, students, and families about what we value most in our Kelso High School community. These values will be the focus of our work at KHS for the next 5 to 10 years. Please take a couple of minutes to complete the KHS Values Survey by February 11th.
