Dr. Argent – KHSCD Principal’s Welcome

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Lao Tzu. 

I love this quote because it always reminds of the freshness of a new start;  that regardless of the previous work , a new day and a new year signify a new journey.  Our staff will take that first step this Thursday as we begin to prepare for the 2018-2019 school year.   We have lots in store for our students, from continued focus on developing relationships to increasing the rigor and innovation in our instruction.  Our teachers are poised and ready to roll and we are dedicated to making this the best year yet! We truly hope you will join us and start our 2018-2019 Knights’ Journey with that first single step!
