Kingston High School is a comprehensive four-year school with an enrollment of approximately 2,500 students and staff located on Broadway in Kingston, New York.
The school comprises five buildings, connected on all levels or by pedestrian bridges. The Main building, which was the original high school building, contains many of the faculty and administration offices. Built in the neoclassical style, the main building still features its original terrazzo marble flooring. The main building houses the majority of English, history classes, and language classes. The auditorium and theatrical stage are also located there, and a music wing housing the band and choir was built onto the back of the main building. On the left side of the Main building is the Kate Walton Field House, which contains the high school's gym and pool. On the other side is the Whiston science building, which is where many science classes, labs, and art classes are located. Two cafeterias, a library, and the KHS-TV studio are in the Salzmann building directly behind the Main building. The fifth building is the Myron J. Michael, or MJM, building, which was originally the junior high school and now houses classrooms primarily for freshmen and the auxiliary gymnasium. The school was founded in 1915, at its current location.
KHS-TV is a student-run television studio within the school. Founded during the 1991–1992 school year as a partial replacement to loudspeaker announcements on the high school complex, the studio began producing "KHS Morning Edition" on November 13, 1992 to bring students in select rooms a daily ten-minute show packed with announcements, video coverage of happenings in the school, lunch and weather forecasts, sports, and more. As time went on, the show was renamed "Wake Up, KHS!" and, in 1999, coverage spread throughout the campus via closed-circuit television and replaced loudspeaker announcements.
In October 2000, several KHS-TV students covered President Bill Clinton's trip to Kingston. Clinton said "Wake Up, KHS!" as he toured Washington Avenue, behind George Washington School, and later did an impromptu interview with several students at the Kingston Airport. Clinton also signed a poster with KHS-TV's original logo.
KHS-TV's "Wake Up, KHS!" is a ten-minute broadcast produced live during the beginning of second period at the high school. Primarily intended to inform the high school student body, the show highlights school events, sports, weather, and happenings from throughout the city while also occasionally including student-produced original comedy shorts in an effort to entertain viewers. With the creation of KHS-TV Channel 20, the show was first viewable on January 6, 2009. It previously aired from 7:50 AM - 8 AM.
The studio also periodically produces "Kingston City Schools Chronicles," a show hosted by the current Kingston City Schools superintendent, discussing the internal workings of the school district and the latest news from the District's various schools. Shows are approximately thirty minutes in length and are pre-recorded for airing at later times. Originally debuting on public access channel 23 in February 2005, the show moved to KHS-TV Channel 20 upon the creation of the new outlet.
