Last Friday and Saturday, the KJHS Student Council traveled to Springfield, Illinois, for the IAJHSC State Convention! A huge shoutout to 7th grader Laney Wunder, who ran for the Midwest District Representative position. While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, Laney did a tremendous job and represented Knoxville with pride. We are so proud of her courage and leadership! We’re thrilled to announce that KJHS brought in the MOST Pop Tabs in the entire state for the Ronald McDonald House — a whopping 566 lbs! A HUGE THANK YOU to the entire Knoxville community for helping us achieve this incredible accomplishment. Please start saving tabs for next year — we’d love to defend our title!
Our council was also recognized as an Honor Council for all the spirit, service, and leadership we bring to our students, school, and community. Way to go, KJHS StuCo!
