Kamiakin Junior High celebrates! National Junior High School of the Year 2nd runner up   Monday, April 25th was a special day at Kamiakin Junior High.  We started the day with a “Cougar Community Celebration”, inviting our parents, grandparents and community to breakfast served by our outstanding staff.  We then gathered as an entire student body to honor Curtis Bates, a former teacher/coach, and receive our 2nd runner up award from LifeTouch and John Turlock.  We are honored to have received this award and will live up to those expectations in the coming years.    We are very proud of our work that led to this award! The work of the leadership team and building with Success @ the Core, and their efforts to build leadership capacity and collaboration with all staff. The innovative efforts regarding work around success for all students. The efforts with Learning Plans, and specifically their new Achievement Guide. The school’s continued work with their community regarding CAPstone, as well as a focus on bringing parents of minority communities on board and getting them involved. The school’s co-curricular efforts to communicate opportunities and provide a well-rounded education for all students.   GO COUGARS!
