It’s officially Magnet Application Day! 🎉

What better way to kick off application season than by helping our 8th graders find their ! 💚

Today, magnet high school recruiters from Del Sol Academy, Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, SECTA, and Valley High School spent the day at KO meeting with our 8th graders, sharing opportunities, answering questions, and helping them think about what comes next in their magnet journey.

Our students have spent their middle school years discovering their passions—and now it’s time to start imagining where those passions might take them in high school! We are so grateful to our fellow magnet schools for investing in our students and helping them find the program and school that feels like the right fit.

And there’s no better day to start exploring than the FIRST DAY magnet applications are open! 🖤💚

The rain may have canceled today’s lunchtime performance, but it can’t stop our students from sharing their art! 🎨💚

Today, we’re shining the Respect Week spotlight on our incredibly talented Graphic Design III students! These students used their creativity and individual artistic voices to explore what respect, kindness, inclusion, and community can look like through digital art.

We love seeing how differently each artist interpreted the same theme, and how the arts give our students so many ways to share a message that matters.

Respect looks different through every artist’s eyes, but the message is the same: EVERY PERSON MATTERS. 💚

Under the Friday Night Lights! 🎶🏈✨

On Friday, our KO Band students had the incredible opportunity to join the Valley High School Marching Band in the stands for a night celebrating music, community, school spirit, and the arts!

There is something special about seeing our middle school musicians playing alongside high school students, experiencing the excitement of Friday night football, and getting a glimpse of where their musical journey can take them. 🎺🥁🎷

We love opportunities that bring our schools together and remind our students that the arts build connections that extend far beyond the classroom.

Thank you, Valley High [email protected], for welcoming our musicians and giving them a night under the lights they won’t soon forget! 🖤💚

Last night was a beautiful celebration of women’s voices! 🎶🖤💚

Our Advanced Women’s Choir had the incredible opportunity to perform at LVA alongside some truly inspiring musicians. From the beautiful voices of our current KO students, to seeing our KO alumni continuing their musical journeys with Bella Voz Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Vocal Music to experiencing the artistry of the professional women’s choir Mirabai mirabai . It was a night that showed our students just how far their voices can take them.

There is something incredibly special about seeing the journey right in front of you: KO students, KO alumni, and professional artists all sharing the same stage and celebrating the power of women in music.

We are so proud of our singers and so grateful for opportunities like this that allow them to experience, learn from, and be inspired by incredible musicians. 🎵

What a night to celebrate women, music, and the power of finding your voice!

Our students taking their art out into the community! 🖤💚🎶💃

What an honor for our Folklorico and Mariachi Los Pumas to share their talent, culture, and love of the arts with our Las Vegas community! We are so proud to see our students celebrating these beautiful traditions and representing KO beyond our campus.

Two celebrations. One beautiful connection. 🎶💃🏽🖤💚

Today we celebrate the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month AND Arts in Education Week!

At K.O. Knudson Academy of the Arts, we are proud to see these celebrations come together through our students. Through Mariachi and Folklórico, they are learning more than music and dance. They are honoring traditions, celebrating culture, and helping carry a rich Hispanic heritage forward for the next generation.

This is what arts education looks like at KO. ❤️🎶

Tradition. Culture. Art. Community.

🎨🎭🎶 Happy Arts in Education Week! 💃🎬🎺

At K.O. Knudson Academy of the Arts, every day is a celebration of arts in education! From the stage to the studio, the rehearsal room to the classroom, the arts give our students opportunities to create, perform, collaborate, take risks, find their voices, and discover what they are capable of.

We are proud to join schools across the nation in celebrating the creativity, passion, and joy that the arts bring to education. At KO, the arts aren’t just something we teach. They are part of who we are. 🖤💚

Here’s to the artists, educators, and students who make education a little more beautiful every day!
