WELCOME TO FABULOUS DUANE D. KELLER MIDDLE SCHOOL IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA! #SOARINGHIGHER
Mariachi Alas Doradas competed in the Spooktacular event last night, and took third place overall! In competition with middle schools and high schools, AD was the only middle school group to place. Keep Soaring Higher, AD!
As part of our Spooktacular Spirit Week, many of the staff at Keller participated in the costume dress-up day. There were many students participating as well, and while we can't post all of the photos from today, we wanted to share some of our fun with the community!
There is no school on Friday, 31 October 2025 in observance of Nevada Day. Have a safe and wonderful long weekend, Jayhawks!!!

Keller Mariachi Kicks Off Latino Heritage Month with the City of Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada!
Keller Middle School's Mariachi was invited to help the City of Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada kick of Latino Heritage Month with the lighting of the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign south of the Las Vegas Strip. We love seeing our Jayhawks represent Keller at events like this! Keep Soaring Higher, Mariachi!
NEW TRAFFIC FLOW PATTERN
Starting Monday 18 August, parents dropping off and picking up students at the front of the school should enter the parking lot from Fogg Street, as the Stewart Avenue entrance will be blocked off. Please remember, you cannot stop your car in the lane of traffic to wait for your student. If you do not see your student, please circle around or park in a parking space to avoid causing traffic backups.
Congratulations to our own Noemi Flores, who has been featured in a CCSD recruitment video!
Noemi is an integral part of our staff at Keller, and we are so proud of her!
Delivery of Gifts, Bouquets, and Third-Party Items
For safety, students are not permitted to receive any third-party deliveries of any kind. Neither students nor parents/guardians may order food to be delivered to the student(s) for lunch. KMS does not have the resources or ability to verify the safety of the delivery/or person delivering. Delivery of food, gifts, balloons, flowers, and other non-instructional items takes away from the schoolβs ability to focus on instruction. Parents/guardians needing to deliver a forgotten lunch or any other item (athletic shoes, dance shoes, costumes, or instruments) or academic work may check in at the front desk to make arrangements.
