Although Kecoughtan's prime function was to provide an education for its population. the school also abounded with activities that extended far beyond the classroom. These activities, both in and out of school, not only helped unite the student body as a whole, but enabled individuals to pursue and develop their own interests. Student Life at Kecoughtan involved more than books and homework: it reached beyond the wells of the school and into every aspect of the Warriors' lives. IQ Q Student Life 5
