Finals Week

Kayhi students will take their 1st and 3rd-period finals on Wednesday, and 2nd and 4th-period finals on Thursday. Students will still go to all four classes on both days. 

Senior Samuel Jackson said he isn’t worried about finals this year because he has more time to study for them and there are fewer finals to take. 

“I think it’s going to be easier to study for four finals instead of six,” said Jackson. “We have longer periods which allows us to study longer for each class.”
