Students Selected to Represent KDS at the 126th Continental Congress
After an intensive selection process, Taylor Corbin and Charles Montgomery were chosen to represent KDS during the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution's 126th Annual Continental Congress in Washington, DC, this June.  All KDS Juniors were invited to apply for this honor.  Applicants' names were passed on to a nominating committee, resulting in ten finalists who were interviewed.

Once the interviews concluded, and after much debate, a selection committee made up of members of the KDS Executive Committee, Administrative Staff, and High School faculty chose Taylor and Charles as the 2017 KDS representatives.

Musical Chairs Making a Difference in KDS Music Department

Thank you once again to the more than 90 friends who partnered with KDS DAR School during the #GivingTuesday campaign to fund 100 chairs for the KDS Music Education Department!

These new chairs provide proper support for students practicing with instruments and have replaced the rag-tag collection of folding and plastic chairs that were no longer reliable.The new chairs will be utilized in both an academic and performance setting and the students are very excited to be using them every day.

In Search of KDS DAR Graduates
Have you lost touch with KDS DAR School friends or classmates? Over the years classmates have moved, change their names and addresses, and as a result, we can't share exciting school and alumni news with them.   
Please contact us if you have updated information for classmates or yourself.
