Update from Mr. Best, KHS Principal:
An alarm went off due to sprinkler sensors. It was not pulled by staff or students. There were no signs of smoke or heat that indicated imminent fire anywhere in the building. Kirksville Fire Department did a walk through out of an abundance of caution and to see if they can pinpoint the problem (dust in heaters, etc).
Thank you Mr. Best and Kirksville Fire Department for keeping everyone safe and informed!

October is National Principals Month and we want to take time to appreciate all of our building principals and assistant principals here at Kirksville R-III. Today we spotlight Mr. Christopher Best at KHS!
We asked him if he ever had to go to the principal's office as a student himself. Mr. Best replied, "Of course I was sent to the principal's office! He just liked to check in with me to tell me what an asset I was to the school and how much he appreciated me as a student and person. Basically he just liked to give me a daily congratulations on being the world's only trouble-free teenager...or at least that's how I remember it."
Sure, we buy that! Thank you, Mr. Best, for everything you do as an educational leader for our students, staff, and community! #kvproud #kvtigers #welovekirksville
