KCS Superintendent Dr. Jon Rysewyk and HVA Executive Principal Dr. Kirk Renegar joined elected officials and community leaders for the ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 21, 2025. It was a great day for the school, the community, and our team.

Jim Hinton with Cope Architecture served as the project's designer.
