Wrapping Up the Year – A Note from Your College & Career Counselor

As we close out the 2024–2025 school year, I want to take a moment to say how proud I am of each and every one of our Kavemen. Whether you were exploring career paths, earning certifications, applying to colleges, joining the military, or jumping straight into the workforce—you showed up, worked hard, and took big steps toward your future.

To the Class of 2025: Congratulations! You’ve officially joined the Kuna High School Alumni Club, and I can’t wait to see how you go out and change the world.

To our returning students: Rest, recharge, and come back ready to keep exploring all the opportunities ahead. I’ll be here cheering you on every step of the way.

Have a safe, restful summer—and don’t forget to check your email from time to time. 😉

—Ms. Bauer
