Key Club

Sponsors: Karen Kelley and Emily Jones

Mission: Key Club International is the high school organization sponsored by Kiwanis International. The PFHS Key Club is sponsored locally by the Sevierville Kiwanis.  Key Club assists Kiwanis in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world. High school student members of Key Club perform acts of service in their communities, such as cleaning up parks, collecting clothing and organizing food drives. They also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and holding elected leadership positions.

Financial Obligation: Membership dues are $13 annually.  If the club chooses to order t-shirts, each member will be responsible for the cost of his or her shirt.

Meeting Schedule:  Key Club meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month during club time.

Vision: We are caring and competent servant leaders transforming communities worldwide.

Core values: The core values of Key Club International are leadership, character building, caring and inclusiveness.
