                                                    Rachel Flores: Student Support Teacher, rflores@pgst.nsn.usg

At KHS, we expect to have a culture and an environment that is inclusive and welcoming for all students. Hate speech, discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and bullying should not occur.  If it does, please report to any staff member ASAP so that we can work directly with impacted students and families to address it and work toward both accountability and resolution.  We believe we can grow stronger only by addressing it clearly and directly.
