King and Queen Elementary School (KQES), built in 1937, formerly known as Pleasant Hill High School will no longer exist after this fall as it is today. Students will be relocated to a site with modulars for the school year (2023-2024) while a new building is built. The Class of 1988 and 1992 buried time capsules when they were 7th graders before being promoted to the 8th grade to Central High School. The now adults came to KQES and dug up their capsules. Inside the capsule were letters students wrote to themselves, a program of the promotion ceremony, Richmond Times newspaper clipping, cassette tape, and VHS tapes.
******Attention Summer Tiger Academy Families******
Due to the weather, all summer academy students will be released today at 10:30am.
Happy summer from KQES!
