High School Night for the 8th grade students
On Thursday, February 21st, Kenilworth Science & Technology hosted the first annual High School Night for the 8th grade students who will be attending high schools next year. Forty-seven KST families attended the event, where they were able to meet and get information from representatives of thirteen Baton Rouge area high schools and the Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance (LOSFA). The schools that attended included public, private, and charter high schools, as well as a virtual school. The event was designed to assist students and parents who were unaware of their high school options and who wanted to compare programs at different high schools. The response from those in attendance was overwhelmingly positive. One high school counselor noted that events like this one help build bridges between the middle school and the high school, which eases the transition period. A parent in attendance was very grateful for the event: "I didn't know we had so many options. Now I can shop around and see who can give my son the best education."
