The Sun is Out!
We are all thankful to be celebrating the beautiful weather, especially after such a long winter, but as you dress for warmer days, please remember the dress code established for the school environment. Skirts and shorts must be no more than 5 inches from the middle of the knee. Tank tops with the sides cut out, spaghetti straps, or razor backs need to be saved for the weekend. Midriff coverage is a must. If you have questions about dress code, please feel free to stop by and talk with a counselor. Please see the Knight Guide for more information.

King’s CyberKnights
Over spring break, our CyberKnights competed at the PNW FRC Regional Champs against the best teams from Washington and Oregon taking 2nd in qualifications and 3rd overall. This gave us enough district points to finish 8th overall in the district and advance to the FRC World Championship in Houston. We were one of the few teams to “solo a rocket” which is a feat that not many teams nationwide are able to do. The CyberKnights will be competing in Houston at the FRC Championships with matches started next Thursday and running through Saturday. More information to follow!
