Welcome to Our High School!
High school students may earn a diploma or a Certificate of Completion; however, all students receive instruction in a wide range of core academics and elective classes, based on their jurisdictional graduation requirements. All students receive transition services geared toward helping them adjust to a less restrictive environment, or next steps that include college, specialized post-secondary programs, technical training, and/or employment.

Curriculum
Our student body includes those who can expect to attend college as well as students who expect to transition into post-secondary programs or employment after completing high school. Multi-disciplinary teams work together to deliver instruction and therapeutic services that enable students to develop their potential to achieve success in and after high school.
In addition to core academic classes, students can enjoy electives in art, music, drama, world languages, technology, physical education, and cooking. Experiential and cross-curricular instruction includes, for example, collaborations between math and culinary, music and history, and science and drama classes, field trips, arts productions, and hands-on projects.
Experiential Learning
Career and technology courses include entrepreneurship and business management, hospitality management (culinary skills), and college/career research and development. A highlight of KTHS is the job internship program, in which students engage in workplace experiences at job sites with professionals and mentors and participate in employment readiness, leadership, and future planning seminars.
KTHS offers many opportunities for strengthening social skills, developing friendships, and building leadership skills through the Student Government Association, after-school clubs, dances, Prom, Best Buddies, and field trips. Our students enjoy the same experiences as those attending large, comprehensive high schools, just on a smaller scale!
