News and Announcements

On his second day as assistant superintendent of TK Schools, Mark Provost volunteered to announce at a middle school football game. “I saw they needed someone to help, so I jumped in. That’s what I want to do. I want to be involved. I want to help wherever I can to make this district successful.”

Thornapple Kellogg High School senior Michael Sager-Wissner was recently recognized as a National Merit Commended Scholar.

It was like an early Christmas in Kara Burbridge’s kindergarten classroom this week. Students anxiously waited while everyone received their envelope. Then they tore the envelopes open like presents to find their original robot drawing newly imagined into a colorful digital design created by high school digital art students.

The 2024 Homecoming Court was announced Friday. The court will be introduced, and the king and queen crowned during halftime of the Homecoming game, Friday, Sept. 27.

Two Thornapple Kellogg High School students have been named as National Merit Scholarship semifinalists according to a release issued today from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Thornapple Kellogg High School students donned gloves to pick weeds, took off their shoes and socks to move rocks from the water’s edge, and learned how to use a hammer and pry bar to remove nails from old decking boards. A younger TK student even gave a speech at Thursday morning’s Barry County United Way campaign kickoff.

Two teachers received the annual Thornapple Kellogg Education Association Above and Beyond Awards. This award is presented each year to staff members who are nominated by their peers for the work they do and their efforts to go above and beyond what is expected. The award was named after retired first grade teacher Shelley Erb.

Thornapple Kellogg Schools is starting the school year with 15 new teachers. These new staff members fill vacancies created by retirements or other teachers leaving the district.

While the sky was still dark, Thornapple Kellogg High School seniors parked their cars in the lot, walked the red carpet into the stadium, and wandered onto the football field. They sat in groups all over the field watching the sun come up on their last first day of school.
