Knight High is the first high school east of Sierra Highway to hit a 700 API score, infact it hit 714. Of the 8 high schools in the AVUHSD, 5 of them are east of Sierra Highway.. and KHS is only 8 years old!!! Way to go Hawks!
I attended the Orientation for freshman (class of 2015) and I have to say that I was blown away. From the Knighthawk Band to the graphic and design equipment at the school is state of the art. Head councelor Mr. Hart, is amazing in his energy that he shows and his enthusiasm to get the student set up to SUCCEED. As a parent I'm looking forward to my child going to this school and hope to get more parents involved to make this high school #1 in the district and in the Valley.
This school is the best High Schhol in the AV! GO HAWKS! class of 2014!!!! As a freshman, they treat you very well here.
I am a junior at Pete Knight Highschool. I used to attend Highland Highschool. That school was the worst school ever!!!!! Well, in KHS u have excellent teachers, great leadership and it's the school of sports!!!! I love it there!!!! The best decision I have ever made!
I went to that school all 4yrs and I just graduated in 2009. That school is an amazing school. They have the MOST Amazing Marching Band, in the AV. The teachers are amazing there. I had so much fun at the school, and I will have many memories to share when I have kids.
well im a freshman at knight high but so far this year has been an amazing year. The teachers are very helpful and understanding its a nice environment and well im looking forward to a great year
i recently graduated from this school about a year ago, and this is probably one of the best schools in the Antelope Valley. The teachers are great, and helped me prepare for a four-year university. I am now attending San Francisco State University, and I thank all of my teachers, because without them I wouldn't be here! School's great, sports are not that bad.
I was part of the first grad class I went to Pete Knight all 4 years of high school and loved it although my last year there were a lot of fights. There are some really great teachers here, I think its one of the better schools in the AV but thats just me. The band is by far the best in the AV and we have the awards and trophies to prove it. Proud member of the DAR!!!!
I am a grad from this school and I loved it. Though it tends to have a lot of fights it provides the students with great teachers, sadly that cant be said about the head faculty since the departure of Mr.Ford. I am currently attending a UC and was offered a full ride to UC Merced, I got accepted into CSULA,CSUF, CSUSB, Cal Poly Pomona, and my school UC Riverside and I know that I can thank the teacher at khs for this.
The Freshman Volleyball team is soo awesome! =D
