Ms. Pinder worked with her Sports Medicine students this Wednesday as they studied the heat index and wet bulb globe temperatures to determine how it affects athletes!
KWHS FFA chapter officers hosted their very own workshop for all agriculture classes over a two day period this week. Officers worked hard to create engaging lessons and activities, and took time to discuss the importance of hard work, dedication, and patience. We love seeing these leaders taking initiative and making an impact!
Student-led inquiry in action: our recent hula-hoop lab had students designing and running experiments to learn experimental design and data analysis. They ran three conditions — Eyesight vs. Blindfolded, Both Legs vs. One Leg, and student-designed trials (e.g., jumping vs. standing, arms up vs. down, walking vs. standing). Each group identified independent, dependent, and control variables, developed hypotheses, calculated averages, graphed their results, and presented conclusions. The exercise reinforced scientific thinking, teamwork, and data communication—plus it was highly engaging for all skill levels.
🎉 Students in Mr. Barnard’s classes used their knowledge of expressions and substitution to design calendars and board games that make practicing Algebra hands-on and fun. From challenge squares to equation-based dates, these projects build skills and creativity.
Curious minds met creativity today! Mrs. Thomas’s English classes visited the library for an orientation and also the makerspace for hands-on problem solving and creativity— students tackled challenge builds with Keva blocks or LEGOs, and some designed colorful bookmarks. 🧩📚✨
We’re collecting LEGO donations to grow our makerspace — if you have sets or loose bricks gathering dust, we’d be so grateful! 🙏

This morning’s Senior Sunrise offered a simple but powerful reminder: beginnings matter. Watching our seniors gather at daybreak — purposeful, optimistic, connected — highlighted the value of community rituals in strengthening student belonging and morale. Thank you to Loca Bean and Dunkin for your local community support.
Last week, students returned with impressive readiness for the new school year. These photos are just several of the many engaging and focused learning environments throughout the building on Friday, August 21.

We have experienced a fantastic beginning to the new school year! The first two days with our students created great enthusiasm about the year ahead. We are excited to provide high-quality instruction while highlighting literacy across all classes, and we will continue building our great culture and community for the successful future of KWHS!
How do you set students up for success from day one? Our freshman orientation today gave new students a clear start: walking through A/B day schedules, meeting teachers and the administrative and counseling teams, and reviewing expectations. We look forward to welcoming them back on Wednesday for their first official day of school. Thank you for the food donations from our community partners: Roma's Restaurant , Food Lion, Subway, April's Place, and the King William Farm Bureau Women's Committee.🎒📚

SEAC Meetings for the year!
This morning, sophomore KWHS students who are attending Chesapeake Bay Governor's School began their 2026-27 school year. The returning junior and senior CBGS students will start on Wednesday. We wish them all a challenging and fulfilling school year! Go Cavs!
Yesterday, we honored a KWHS summer graduate! Cayleigh set a goal to graduate early, so she can join the military when she turns 18. Cayleigh overcame obstacles, persevered, and worked hard to achieve what she set out to do. She is a great example of not giving up when you want to achieve something. As the saying goes, "It takes a village," and Cayleigh's family also worked hard, providing the support she needed to graduate early and begin her next chapter. Congratulations, Cayleigh, and thank you for your future service!
