Kelso High School is hosting a Virtual Ribbon Cutting to unveil the new gymnasium floor on Thursday, October 22 at 6:30 pm. The community is invited to join the celebration, streamed live on Facebook at @KelsoSchools and on Instagram at @hilanderasb.

Planned and organized by the school’s Associated Student Body (ASB) officers, highlights of the ceremony include lighting up the center “K” saved from the old floor, which is now hung in the main hallway by the auditorium, and a performance from the Kelso High School drumline. Present for the event will be Kelso High School coaches and one senior athlete from boys basketball, girls basketball, volleyball, cheer, and wrestling. Also in attendance will be special guest, Ray Berg. Berg was the Kelso High School Girls Basketball Head Coach from 1983 to 2005 and taught at Huntington Middle School from 1972 to 2005.

Replaced with funds from the passage of the 2018 local bond, the previous gymnasium floor was in in use for 50 years, since the 1970-71 school year.
