The Lady Jackets are now 4-3 in district. 9-16 overall.

Jacket Nation,
On Friday and Saturday, January 13th-14th, Kermit K-Band senior Isaiah Urquidi represented KHS at the Region 6 High School All-Region Band Clinic and Concert! Isaiah placed high enough at All-Region auditions in December to earn a spot in the band. Hundreds of students from around our region compete for a very limited number of chairs. Students auditioning for All-Region not only compete with students from other 3A schools but with students from 1A through 4A schools. Congratulations to Isaiah on this high honor and accomplishment!
