McKenzie Middle School is Coach Kee-Themed for a Day
From the Sep 22, 2026 e-Edition
McKENZIE (September 16) — When McKenzie Middle School Principal Josh Kee walked into work on Wednesday morning he noticed a pattern immediately. His face was on yard signs, posters and employees’ shirts!
Yes, McKenzie Middle School was Principal Kee-themed! The staff had special shirts made with his face on them.
What was the occasion? Principal Kee turned 50-years-old!
The posters lining the lobby featured “Back in 1976” with facts about the cost of living, photos of his head, and one special poster that read, “Happy 50th Birthday to an Amazing Principal! World’s Greatest Boss!”
The staff gave him cupcakes in the shape of “50” and a t-shirt featuring a photo collage of him.
“Well, I always say, we are like a family here,” Principal Kee replied when asked about the staff’s gesture.
What a fun way to celebrate another trip around the sun.
