KCS Students Lead County-Wide Service Effort
Something special is happening in KCS and it’s being led by students.
The KCS Student Leadership Team has organized a county-wide community service initiative, bringing together schools from across the district to give back in meaningful ways. From donation drives and volunteer work to campus cleanups and community outreach, students are stepping up to make a real difference in their community.
It’s not just one school or one project
