We are so proud to be highlighted/honored in this article.

What does it look like when a school district defines excellence by character rather than test scores? In Keene Independent School District, it looks like a community where "every child, every need, every day" isn't just a mission statement—it’s the daily architecture of the school.

Spanning just 4.2 square miles in Johnson County, Texas, Keene ISD has become a model for what happens when a district rejects the "forensic" use of high-stakes testing in favor of developing the "whole learner."

From their unique House System that ensures no student is invisible to their commitment to providing "Big School Opportunities in a Small School Environment," Keene is proving that small districts can have a massive impact. They aren't just teaching students; they are actively working to produce good humans.

Dear Keene High School Parents and Guardians,

Due to the expected rain and weather conditions, Keene High School Graduation has been rescheduled to begin at 6:00 PM at The Island. This adjustment is being made to help provide the best possible experience for our graduates, families, and guests while prioritizing safety and comfort for everyone attending.

Graduating seniors are expected to report to the high school gym no later than 5:00 PM dressed in their cap and gown.

We appreciate your flexibility, understanding, and continued support as we celebrate the Class of 2026. We look forward to honoring our graduates and sharing this special evening together.

Thank you,
Keene High School Administration

Your child was able to select 8 sessions from a menu of 23 unique classes (Slime Lab, Lego Lab, Water Bottle Flip, Casting a Fishing Rod, How to Swing a Golf Club, Straw Rockets and many more!) that our teachers will be hosting during Charger Camp. We will have our concession stand open in the afternoon and afterschool to sell out all our extra candy, chips and drinks so send money, if you choose!
