When students return to Kingwood in mid March, they will be able to have classes on the second, third and fourth floors, which includes most classrooms and the cafeteria. Students will have access to the fine arts and athletics facilities. However, some areas of the first floor, which includes most of the administrative offices, will not be fully available, according to the district. KHS experienced about $40 million in damages after Tropical Storm Harvey dropped more than 30 inches of rain on the Lake Houston area and caused extensive damage in late August. HISD officials said the doors to KHS had swelled up so much after Harvey that it took crowbars and sledgehammers to open them. The special education classrooms, administrative offices, fine arts equipment and almost all of the district’s athletic equipment were recorded as a total loss. "Humble ISD considered safety, student learning, extracurricular activities, the desire to move back in quickly, and efficiency in the decision-making process," officials said in a statement.It is our goal to have @HumbleISD_KHS academic wing ready for KHS students by March 19, 2018. ?????????❤️ pic.twitter.com/1DSbNuGMU6
