Profile of a Graduate

The Profile of a Graduate captures the social and emotional skills identified as most important for all KHPS graduates. The profile was developed with input from our students, parents, community members, and educators. The profile includes five broad categories and the related skills our community believes are necessary to be prepared for post-secondary success in college, career and life. The Profile of a Graduate is an outgrowth of the district’s commitment to developing and providing a competency-based educational system for all K-12 learners. As we look to next school year and beyond, our Profile of a Graduate will serve as an organizing tool for students to reflect on their learning as well and prepare a robust digital record of their experiences to share with colleges and employers.

PERSONALIZED
LEARNING

Our Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
