Former students, friends and colleagues of Greg Kremer, long time instructor and icon at KWHS, would like to honor his memory by providing a scholarship at class night. He touched the lives of many students and staff alike. We have opened a scholarship in his name at KWHS and anyone who would like to contribute can make a donation to Key West High School here with a credit/debit through SchoolPay (at the link https://www.schoolpay.com/link/gregkremerscholarship) or via a check dropped off and made out to Key West High School with "Greg Kremer Scholarship" in the memo line. A group of his collegial educators will make the selection this year, recognizing a student who had a passion for education, sports and adventure, those things that inspired Greg throughout his life. Please help us honor the legacy of a tremendous coach, educator, and friend.

Safety is first at KWHS and we have taken several steps to ensure our campus is safe. Our SRO, Officer Del Cid, is on campus from start to finish of each school day with additional officers on campus during lunch. The extra police are there to build relationships, mentor the students and help to maintain a safe environment. Staff are throughout the campus at supervision stations during the day and we ask all visitors to check in at the office for clearance. The gates on campus are locked at 7:45 and reopened before school is out with the front gate the main entrance point. Students have been through an Active Threat presentation to help them make decisions should they ever face such a situation at school or anywhere. This presentation is available for viewing by parents on our website. We have practiced fire drills and lock down drills as well as spent a day dedicated to character education lessons, all in an effort to promote a healthy, positive, safe environment for our students to be their best. Our See Something, Say Something campaign urges students to tell an adult on campus if they hear, see or suspect something that is suspicious, doesn’t seem right or if they are concerned about a person’s well-being. The Text Tip number for anonymous reporting is 305-432-3311.
Students were part of an Active Threat presentation provided by teachers on Friday. The information is part of our safety protocols and the presentation elicited awareness and informative conversations about what students and staff should do if there were to be an active threat on campus.
