Please help us welcome Ms. Kristin Kennedy, new art teacher at Kirksville High School!
Kristin comes to the high school with over ten years of experience in higher education, most recently serving as an academic advisor at Truman State. She earned her bachelor's degrees in art and athletic training from Truman, as well as her master's degree in leadership. For Kristin, the best part of teaching is empowering students to notice, to think, and to take action in their own lives.
Outside of school, she stays busy with her children and enjoys working on her art.

Please help us welcome Ms. Hannah Wilson, new French teacher at Kirksville!
Hannah comes to the high school with experience as a private French tutor, a district substitute teacher, and an instructor at Truman State University. She earned her bachelor's degree in French from Truman State University and is currently working toward her master's degree in education. For Hannah, the best part of teaching is watching students learn important life skills right alongside their academic studies.

His coaching career spans 44 years, including state high school championships, and the last 14 seasons at TSU.
Kirksville High School alumna and Clinton, MO head coach, Sydney Snyder, has been named the new head softball coach for KHS.
