Thornapple Kellogg Schools will be well represented at the Odyssey of the Mind state finals March 21 hosted at TK! Twelve TK teams - representing students from elementary grades through high school - advanced from the regional contest Feb. 21.
At least nine different TK superintendents, a pandemic, numerous building projects, some difficult budget cuts, handing out diplomas at graduations for more than three decades and always keeping the question “What’s best for kids” at the forefront of all his decision making. That’s just a snippet of Dave Smith’s resume from his 31 ½ years serving on the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education.
Thornapple Kellogg High School proudly presents the 2026 spring musical, All Shook Up. Three performances are scheduled March 5, 6 and 7. Each show begins at 6:30 p.m. in the high school performing arts center.
Giggles, wiggles and lots of smiles filled the gymnasium as several classes at a time gathered for an energetic physical activity led by PE teacher Mrs. DeVries. It was all about celebrating the 100th day of school!
Lively music, pink and red hearts and balloons everywhere, and more than 400 eager students ready for their turn to jump! That’s what the annual Lee Elementary School Kids Heart Challenge day is like.
“Let’s go TK” chanted the TKHS student body and it grew louder and louder. A minute later, voices echoed across the gym in a contest to see who could shout the loudest - “Go Orange,” and “Go Black.” They even threw in the “wave” that surfed across the packed high school gymnasium bleachers. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any louder, everyone went crazy every time the ball swooshed through the net.
Welcome to Thornapple Kellogg Schools! We're glad you're here!
We strive to make TK Schools a safe, nurturing, and enriching learning environment for all students where they can enjoy learning, growing and developing positive relationships with caring administrators, teachers and staff. We strive to make every student feel important, safe and respected as well as challenged in their curriculum.
We believe we have a unique environment filled with positive support from the community, TK families and all of our TK staff - all dedicated to making our school district the very best. We are all working toward the same goal - providing each student who comes through our doors with the best educational experience possible and preparing them to achieve their future goals.
Our TK community is especially committed to our schools and work cooperatively to provide real-world experiences, opportunities and much-needed support. Parental involvement is highly welcomed at all levels. Our middle and high school administrators have regular parent advisory meetings for input and discussion. Our elementary schools are supported by a very active Parent Teacher Organization which is always looking for volunteers.
