March 24, 2025. Monday Momentum. Progress. Perform. Protect. Page 1. Keeping tradition alive. The Senior Tile is a hallway landmark at Kirksville High School, donated in honor of the Class of 1962. Located just outside the office, the tile has been walked over by thousands of KHS students, staff, and visitors over the years. The district is working to preserve this tradition during the remodel. The Senior Tile will be recreated for the new floor, and if the original tile can be removed intact, it will be framed and displayed in the building. Regardless of the outcome, the goal is to ensure that future students continue the tradition of passing the Senior Tile for years to come. The stained glass from 1994, commemorating the first 100 years of KHS, will also remain intact as part of the new remodel.
