Walkout update

At 10am, some of our students respectfully and peacefully congregated in Palm Court while exercising their First Amendment rights. Our ASB did a tremendous job of giving a valuable presentation to the students. After the presentation, our students returned to class quietly and peacefully.

A Message From Mr. Scanlan-Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End

Good evening Aztec family,


This evening, the Board voted to select me as the next Assistant Superintendent of Student/Employee Welfare for the upcoming 18-19 school year. With this exciting opportunity comes the sadness of knowing that I will be leaving Mark Keppel High School.


I cannot thank the Keppel community enough for all of your kindness and support during my time here. Our students are truly the greatest both out of the classroom and in it. Mark Keppel is a truly special place and I have been very lucky to be a part of it for the past 3 years.


That being said, you're still stuck with me for the rest of the school year, so it's not goodbye just yet. The district will soon begin the process of selecting a new principal. Whoever that lucky individual is will have the good fortune of becoming a part of this tremendous community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything.


John Scanlan

Principal, Mark Keppel High School
