Good Evening, KMHS Parents
We were made aware of some rumors that were shared today throughout the school building about a loaded gun being found in a backpack by our school resource officer. We were not made aware of these rumors until after the school day. We want to reassure all of you that these rumors are 100% false. There have been no weapons found on campus and no students were in danger at any time for this reason. Please know that if a situation like this were ever to come up, the school would send out information to all parents making them aware of the situation. We work very hard to provide a safe school environment at all times and will continue to do so. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.
