- Kingston High School is a comprehensive four-year school with an enrollment of approximately 2400 students and staff located on Broadway in Kingston, New York. KHS is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Board of Regents, State University of New York.
- Campus layout
-
The school is made up of five buildings, many of them connected with pedestrian bridges. The Main building, which was the original high school building, contains many of the faculty and administration offices. The majority of English and History classes are taught in the Main building. The auditorium and theatrical stage are also located here. Off of the Main building is the Kate Walton Field House which contains the high school's gym and pool. On the other side is the Whiston (science) building, which is where many science classes and labs are located. Two cafeterias, a library and the KHS-TV studio are in the Salzmann building directly behind the Main building. The fifth building is the MJM building, which was originally the junior high school, now houses the auxiliary gymnasium and classrooms. The school was founded in 1915, at its current location.
- Kingston High School Television
-
KHS-TV is a student-run television studio within the school. Founded during the 1991-1992 school year as a replacement to loudspeaker announcements on the high school complex, the studio began producing "KHS Morning Edition" on November 13, 1992 to bring students in select rooms a daily ten-minute show packed with announcements, video coverage of happenings in the school, lunch and weather forecasts, sports, and more. As time went on coverage spread throughout the campus via closed-circuit television, eventually completely replacing loudspeaker announcements and changing its flagship show's name name to "Wake Up, KHS."
- Programming
-
KHS-TV's central focus is "Wake Up, KHS," a ten-minute broadcast produced live during the beginning of second period at the high school. Primarily intended to inform the high school student body, the show highlights school events, sports, weather, and happenings from throughout the city while also occasionally including student-produced original comedy shorts in an effort to entertain viewers. With the creation of KHS-TV Channel 20, the show was first viewable live by the public at large on January 6, 2009.
- The studio also periodically produces "Kingston City Schools Chronicles," a show hosted by Kingston City Schools superintendent Gerard Gretzinger, shining a light on the internal workings of the school district and the latest news from the District's various schools. Shows are typically approximately thirty minutes in length and are pre-recorded for airing at later times. Originally debuting on Kingston Public Access channel 23 in February 2005, the show moved to KHS-TV Channel 20 upon the creation of that new outlet.
- When not airing pre-packaged shows, various independent video clips and announcement slides are aired to fill the rest of the broadcast day. Typical broadcast blocks are noon, 4PM, 7PM, 9PM, and midnight, with "Wake Up, KHS" broadcast live at 8:36AM.
- Distribution
-
KHS-TV debuted on channel 17 via closed-circuit television within the high school campus, later moving internally to channel 5 for various reasons. For its first sixteen years of existence, the station could only be viewed within the school. However, as part of a deal with Time Warner Cable and the City of Kingston, KHS-TV began broadcasting programming throughout the Kingston area via Kingston Time Warner channel 20 starting towards the end of December 2008. The station remains on channel 5 within the complex, showing slides during the day after "Wake Up, KHS" instead of video so as not to disrupt classes in progress.
- Sports
-
Kingston High School's Tiger sports program is highly active, featuring many different school-funded activities and even a few monetarily self-sufficient activities. Kingston's team members can be identified by their maroon, gold, and white colors.
