Eyes on the PRIZE

As the premier partner in West Chester University’s (WCU) PRIZE program, KHS students will have yet another opportunity to personalize their pathway beginning in 2023-24. Aspiring teachers may complete a Degree Program in Education. Upon receiving their Diploma, eligible students will be automatically enrolled in WCU’s College of Education and Social Work, where they will receive exclusive mentorship from KCSD faculty. Upon receiving their Bachelor’s Degree and certifications, the District has committed to hiring at least three alumni annually. This “Grow Your Own” initiative not only ensures student success, but a sustainable pipeline of diverse educators.
