In the fall of 2017 a community approved expansion was completed that added a magnificent commons area, new classrooms for S.T.E.M. education, vocation tech, agriculture, industrial tech, music and consumer sciences. Also a new auditorium, media center, kitchen and cafeteria and a Safe and Secure entrance. .[2]

KH HS was previously the largest school in the area in which the middle and high schools shared a building. The middle school section, which held grades 7 and 8, had a capacity of approximately 300 students. The high school, grades 9–12, held approximately 600. The middle and high school programs also shared certain areas, such as art and FACS. The building is now used solely for high school classes. A new middle school building for grades 5–8 opened for classes in September 2009.

The building contains two separate gymnasiums.
