We are READY to walk in the Old Shawnee Days Parade this morning! ✨💚

Limelight students rocked their Pre-Show performance at last weekend for SHREK THE MUSICAL! We are so proud of our dancers taking the stage and shining their light! 💚✨

Land of the free, because of the brave. Today we honor the memory of all who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸✨

✨Our last of 2026! It’s Izzy Simms!✨

Izzy’s bubbly personality lights up a room, and her leadership in the classroom does not go unnoticed. She is a fierce supporter of her teammates and never fails to bring a smile to their faces. We are so proud of all Izzy has accomplished in her high school career and know she will do great things in her time at KSU. Congrats Izzy! 🥳
