Congratulations to the Kane County High School Class of 2017!
With the 2016-2017 school year coming to a close, it is a time of celebration for both students and educators. Each year, high school graduation ceremonies serve as a reminder of the positive impact all educators have had on students as they set out on the next phase of their lives.
