Have you ever wondered what your teachers do outside of school? A secret hobby or obsession they may have? Apparently they’re doing more than grading your papers. The impressive part of these hidden hobbies is how your beloved KHS staff has time for them. Mr. Griffin, history teacher and amateur comedian, could make comedy his full time career, but he said between his family and everything else in his life, there’s no time to be traveling that much. “My family always asks me ‘why isn’t this [comedy] what you’re doing,’ and I just shake my head and laugh,” Griffin said. Comedians, collectors and talented teachers came into the light to show off their passions.
