Principal Welcome
Principal Welcome
Welcome to Kaukauna High School, home of the Galloping Ghosts! It is my privilege to lead a school known for its commitment to excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts, as well as its strong community spirit. Here at KHS, we believe in Ghosts—our students, our traditions, and our shared future.
Your child’s education and well-being are our top priorities. We pride ourselves in creating an environment where every student has the opportunity to excel. This past year, 100% of our graduating seniors took either a dual credit course or gained valuable work experience, giving them a head start on their college and career paths, setting them up for success from day one. We’ve also built daily Flex Time into our schedule, offering an opportunity for support and enrichment so that each student receives the attention they need to thrive.
Our dedication to excellence is evident in every aspect of our school. We are proud to be recognized as one of the "Best Communities for Music Education," and our athletes regularly bring home FVA conference championships and WIAA state titles. With a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, every student can find their passion and shine.
While we are proud of our accomplishments, we are also committed to continuous improvement, always striving to enhance our programs and support systems to meet the evolving needs of our students and community.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the opportunities that make KHS special. Together, we will continue to inspire our students to achieve their highest potential.
