Thanks to a $2,167 grant from the Barry Community Foundation’s Wilson H. Craig Jr. fund, Thornapple Kellogg High School students have new tools to use in their math classes. Mrs. VanOpstall was able to purchase graphing calculators to make sure each student in her class has access to one of the devices. The calculators are a valuable tool in understanding advanced math concepts.

The 2022 Homecoming Court has been named and the king and queen will be crowned during the halftime celebrations of Friday night's homecoming game. The homecoming theme this year is "Hollywood."

All TK Alumni and the TK community are encouraged and invited to attend the Oct. 7 Homecoming “Hollywood-themed” festivities and football game.

Thornapple Kellogg High School’s Friday (Sept. 23) football game will shine a spotlight on mental health thanks to the efforts of the TKHS Mental Health Club and the Student Council.

Thornapple Kellogg junior Nathan Koester has a need for speed - on the racetrack. He’s quickly gaining a lot of success and attention. Koester is the 2022 Rookie of the Year in the Template Late Model cars and finished a highly respectable fourth place in points overall in the 15-race season.

In a flash, all the boxes, tubs and canisters filled with supplies were removed from the Camp Algonquin craft cabin and dust began to fly as students swept out the summer’s layers of dirt and debris.

The last first day of school.
Thornapple Kellogg High School seniors gathered before sunrise on the football field to watch the sun come up on their last first day of school and get the year off to a good start. Many will continue on to colleges or universities beyond high school, but this experience of sharing their last first day with their classmates will be one they say they’ll always remember.
