Participants included students in rural areas, suburbs, and cities in this country, and in Department of Defense schools around the world.

The following KHS students received certificates of recognition for scores in the top 25th percentile of the nation:

The President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy has recommended that the Treasury offer the Challenge as a means of reinforcing the many financial education programs currently available for high school students.

KHS Students Participate in Mock Election

The high school commons was busy on October 30 with KHS students casting votes for their selection of national, state, and local candidates. Sponsored by the U.S. Government classes taught by Mr. Young and Mrs. Evans, ballot booths were set up for the “registered” voters to mark their ballots. Over 50% of the students voiced their political opinion during the morning or during lunchtime with a few of the following winners: McCain-Palin 64%, Jim Risch 42%, Mike Simpson 81%, Sharon Block 78%. For the local sheriff’s voting, Carter won with 49% over Tousely with 23% and Cathy Holsten for the CSI Trustee by 60%.
