Kyrene Middle School

Last night we celebrated an incredible group of 8th graders as they officially promoted to the next chapter of their journey.

We are so proud of everything they accomplished and even more excited for what comes next. High school is gaining a remarkable group of students ready to leave their mark on the world.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Once a Scorpion, always a Scorpion.

Steven Nguyen, a 7th grade student, created this moving video montage celebrating the KMS campus. In collaboration with his TV Broadcasting teacher, Ms. Bowen, he crafted a beautiful tribute to our school community. As we celebrate and send off our 8th graders tonight, may we all stand together as one KMS family.

Stepping back in time with our amazing 8th graders (and staff!) in Philadelphia 🇺🇸🔔

Today’s adventure included:
✨ Seeing the iconic Liberty Bell
🏛️ Exploring Independence Hall where history was made
👟 Walking the charming red brick streets of Old City
📚 Making memories, sharing laughs, and bringing history to life

From cobblestone streets to revolutionary stories, our students got a firsthand look at the birthplace of America — and had a blast doing it! 🇺🇸❤️

Kyrene Middle School is hiring a Multimedia / Audio Engineering Teacher!

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves creativity, technology, media, music, storytelling, and working with middle school students. Our students are ready to create, record, edit, and explore the world of sound and multimedia, and we are looking for the right person to help lead that magic.

Experience or interest in audio engineering, music technology, broadcasting, multimedia production, digital storytelling, or media arts would be a great fit.
