✨ KFHS Takes the Runway in Ellensburg! ✨

Our talented students headed to Central Washington University this past Saturday, April 25th, for the Fashion Industry Conference, and they certainly made an impression! 👗🧵

It was an incredible day of hands-on learning where our students dove into the artistry of the industry. They attended expert-led classes on:
✨ Draping – Learning how to sculpt fabric on the form.
✨ Beading – Adding that perfect touch of detail.
✨ Hand Sewing – Mastering the foundational skills of couture.

The highlight of the day? The Sustainable Fashion Challenge! We are beyond proud to announce that our very own Cheyenne Mullins took home 1st Place! 🏆 Her winning entry—a stunning dress crafted entirely from recycled jeans—showcased incredible creativity and a commitment to eco-friendly design.

Between classes and competitions, the group also got a chance to explore the beautiful CWU campus and get a taste of college life.

Please join us in celebrating Cheyenne and all our aspiring designers for representing KFHS so well!

🌲 State Forestry Success in Aberdeen! 🌲

Our KFHS Forestry team just returned from an incredible 3-day journey to Aberdeen for the State Forestry Competition, and we couldn't be prouder of their growth and Winning Character! 🐾

This trip was a masterclass in hands-on learning. The team explored the Ginkgo National Forest, hiked Snoqualmie Falls, and studied watersheds at Bottle Beach. From handling petrified wood to identifying Western Red Cedars and discussing renewable energy, our students saw firsthand how the timber industry connects to our environment and power grid. 🗺️💧

The Main Event: State Competition 🏆
Our Bulldogs went head-to-head with the best in the state, competing in technical events like:
✅ Timber Cruising & Map Interpretation
✅ Chainsaw Safety, Parts, and Diagnosis
✅ Tree & Tool ID
✅ Compass and Pacing

The results? Our students brought in their highest scores of the entire year! 📈 What makes this even more impressive is that our young team held their own against senior-heavy squads who have been practicing for years.

Their Effort and Discipline are clearly paying off. Congratulations to the team for a fantastic season and for representing Kettle Falls so well on the state stage!

🚀 The Future is Bright at KFHS! 🚀

We just wrapped up an incredible Career Fair, and the energy on campus was electric! We kicked things off with an inspiring assembly in the gym featuring Kyle Paterson from Corebridge Financial, who shared invaluable advice with our student body about preparing for the world beyond high school.

This year was our biggest event yet! With 35 different businesses, colleges, and military branches in attendance, we expanded our footprint to include both the Commons and the Library to make room for everyone.

From local industry leaders to university recruiters, our students had the chance to network, ask big questions, and start mapping out their next steps. A huge thank you to all the professionals who took the time to invest in our DAWGS today!

Check out these snapshots of our students in action! 📸👇

🌲 Taking it to the Woods! 🌲

Our KFHS Forestry team was back in action this week, putting their skills to the ultimate test in the field! Forestry is so much more than just identifying trees—our students competed in a gauntlet of technical events, including:

✅ Timber Cruising & Map Interpretation
✅ Compass and Pacing
✅ Chainsaw Parts & Safety
✅ Tree ID & Tree Disorders
✅ Tool ID & General Forestry Knowledge

The team showed incredible Discipline and Effort, and the improvement we’ve seen in their technical accuracy is outstanding. This was a vital "tune-up" as the DAWGS prepare to head to the State Forestry Competition after Spring Break!

We are so proud of how these students are representing our school and our local industry. Keep up the hard work, team! 🐾🪓

🔥 Biology in Action: The Science of the Burn! 🧪

Our Biology students were busy this week getting their heart rates up—all in the name of science! They hit the lab to see exactly how Cellular Respiration powers our bodies.

The challenge? Measure carbon dioxide levels by exhaling through a straw into an indicator solution. They tested three different stages:
1️⃣ At Rest (The baseline)
2️⃣ After 30 seconds of exercise 🏃‍♂️
3️⃣ After 2 minutes of intense work! 🏋️‍♀️

The results were visible! As the students worked harder, their cells needed more energy, producing more CO2 as a byproduct. The more they exercised, the faster the indicator solution changed color, proving that our "cellular engines" were revving into high gear.

It’s one thing to read about it in a textbook, but it’s another thing to see the chemistry of your own breath change in real-time! 🐾💪

🌲 Branching Out: The Big Tree Contest Begins! 🌲

Our KFHS FFA students traded the classroom for the forest this week to kick off the highly anticipated Big Tree Contest! It was a day of hands-on learning and future planning for our green-thumbed Bulldogs.

Here’s how they dug in:
📚 Knowledge: They learned the art of creating educational posters to share the importance of forestry.
🌳 Care: Students mastered the essentials of tree health and long-term maintenance.
🌱 Selection: Each student hand-picked their very own tree to bring back to campus!

The next step? These trees are coming home to KFHS to be planted and nurtured by our students. But the journey doesn't end there—the ultimate goal is the Fair in August, where their hard work and healthy trees will be officially entered for judging! 🎡

We can’t wait to watch these trees (and our students' skills) grow throughout the spring.

Precision meets purpose! 🔥⚙️

Check out this incredible project coming out of the KFHS metal shop class! Using our brand-new CNC plasma cutter, Greg designed and fabricated a custom piece specifically for Boise Cascade.

Learning to operate a plasma cutter is no small feat—it requires technical precision, software knowledge, and a steady hand. Greg didn't just master the machine for his own project; he stepped up as a leader and taught his classmates how to use it, too!

We love seeing our students gain real-world skills that connect directly with our local industry partners. Huge shout-out to Greg for his hard work, craftsmanship, and willingness to help others level up their skills. 🐾💪

Checkmate! Take a look at this incredible project fresh out of the KFHS Shop. One of our talented students just finished this stunning custom chessboard and the craftsmanship is next level. He opted for wood and a dark blue exposure for the squares and poured both sets in different shades of blue out of epoxy as well. We love seeing our students pushing themselves and their creative designs.
