Greetings Kittitas Secondary Parents, Staff, and Students,
I am beyond excited to start off the 2019-20 school year! I look forward to the opportunity to meet each and every one of you in the coming weeks. This is an exciting time for Kittitas Secondary School with new faces, energy, and excitement. I want to extend a warm invitation to any parents, staff, or students who would like to stop by for a visit. Communication is the key to the work we do at Kittitas Secondary School, and my door is always open.
This next year, we will continue to build on the strengths of the secondary school’s long-standing reputation of excellence in a community that places a high value on the education of its students. Kittitas Secondary has a talented staff and a supportive community which creates an environment for all students to directly benefit from this partnership. It is my belief that our efforts will support the positive experience of our students so they can flourish, achieve academic excellence, become emotionally and physically stronger, and grow in their talents.
The 2019-2020 school year promises to bring new adventures and experiences for students, staff, and the Kittitas Community. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and work towards strengthening the Coyote traditions.
Sincerely,
Heather Burfeind

Results of the bond election as of February 13, 2020 has moved on up to 62.76% yes.
The first results of the bond election are very positive at 61.4% yes. Final results will be given on the 20th when all ballots are in. The trend surely is in our favor. We are only one of five districts that are currently passing our bond out of 21 bond issues in the state. A real credit to our community.
Thank You For Voting Kittitas!
