Attention Seniors: April is a month during which students should be focused on making progress with their portfolios, including their Capstone project. Details for each component of the Capstone Project can be seen by students in their Google Classroom and the Graduate Portfolio Handbook can be accessed on the KRHS Website. Students will be working to add components of the Graduate Portfolio throughout April. Link to Graduate Portfolio Website. Several component of the Graduate Portfolio and Capstone Presentations take place in early May, so students should make sure to review the due dates provided in Google Classroom. 

Kearsarge Regional High School (KRHS) is excited to announce the launch of a cutting-edge Kit Car Building Program that will provide students with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in automotive engineering, mechanics, and design.

As part of KRHS’s commitment to career and technical education, this program will allow students to build a fully functional vehicle from a kit, working through every stage of assembly with guidance from experienced instructors and industry professionals. Students will develop critical skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and mechanical engineering while gaining insight into potential career paths in automotive design, engineering, and manufacturing.

To fund the program’s startup costs, KRHS is seeking support through outside sponsors, grants, and private funding. After the initial build, the completed vehicle will be sold, with proceeds reinvested into the program to fund future builds and expand opportunities for students. This self-sustaining model ensures that the program can grow and continue to provide real-world learning experiences for years to come.

The program is open to grades 10-12 and will begin at the start of the 2025/2026 school year. Enrollment is limited, and interested students are encouraged to apply early.

How to Get Involved
KRHS welcomes support from local businesses, automotive enthusiasts, and community members who wish to contribute through sponsorships or donations.

K-12 Schools have become the top targets for cyber attacks and ransomware attacks. In an effort to keep students and staff safe and comply with educational laws, Google has made changes to its non-core services, including YouTube. These restrictions have been in place for other non-core services for quite some time, but YouTube is the latest to tighten its security.

Effective April 1st, 2025, Google will implement some restrictions on how students can view YouTube videos. This change will not affect how teachers access these services.  What will change is that students will lose the ability to access YouTube directly.  Teachers can still share YouTube videos with students in controlled ways, such as embedding videos in Google Classroom assignments, Google Slides, Google Forms, or by sharing links in a Google Doc. Students will view YouTube videos only in preview mode. Student learning will not be affected by these changes since videos assigned by teachers will still be able to be viewed by students.

Remember that it is a KRSD Graduation requirement to complete 20 hours of community service by the time you graduate.  Families of those students in the graduating class of 2025 will be receiving letters if limited hours have been recorded at the school. Forms to submit community service can be found on the school website, in your Advisory Google Classroom, and picked up in the Guidance Office. Completed forms should be turned in at the main office or guidance office to be logged.
