Congratulations Keys High School Class of 2026!
This morning’s teacher vs. 8th grade volleyball game went exactly how everyone expected… total teacher domination. 😎🏐
The 8th graders came in confident, talking big game all week. Unfortunately for them, experience, teamwork, and a little “veteran athleticism” took over. The teachers were diving, serving lasers, and reminding everyone that we still have a few tricks left. 💪
To the 8th graders: thanks for being great sports and giving us a good warm-up. Maybe next year’s class will put up more of a fight. 😉
Signed--
The Teachers

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to take a moment to personally thank the incredible teachers and para educators at Keys Elementary.
Moving into my new role as Superintendent has been an exciting step, but I’d be lying if I said I won’t deeply miss being in the building with you every day. The relationships, the teamwork, and most importantly the impact you make on our students—it’s something truly special, and something I’ll always value.
Please know this: I may not be in the building each day, but I’m still "just down the hill." I’m still here to support you, cheer you on, and advocate for the important work you do. You are the heart of Keys Elementary. You show up for kids in ways that go far beyond academics, and our school is better because of each of you.
I also want to acknowledge our high school teachers, who I will soon have the privilege of working more closely with—I’m excited to support you and recognize the impact you make every day. Thank you for your dedication, your passion, and the difference you make every single day.
—Mr. Mages
