Welcome Back Kingston Hill Academy Community!

 

 

We have had a successful transition back to school! It is hard to believe that we have only been in school for 5 days. The students and staff are back to their routines in no time at all. It was great to visit with all the families and students at our The Back To School Event this past Wednesday night. Thank you to our staff and PTO for organizing such a great event for our students.

 

 

I am excited to begin the new school year with such an amazing group of students, educators, staff, and families and I look forward to a great year ahead.

 

 

Please contact us @[email protected] and/or @[email protected] if you have any questions, feedback, and/or needs that we can assist you with. We are here for you KHA! We are looking forward to our new school year together!

 

Sincerely,

 

Marcella Terranova Clark

Chief Administrator of Kingston Hill Academy
