Creating Your Roadmap from Freshman Year to the Future

High school is a busy stretch of road, full of lane changes, on‑ramps, and the occasional detour. The KHS Counseling Center is here to keep every Bulldog moving with confidence. Whether you’re mapping out next semester’s classes, exploring career paths, or navigating life’s ups and downs, our counselors know you by name and goal.


What We Do
