The Knights left the Hiawatha Valley League for the Gopher Conference in 2021–22. “Size-wise we’ve been going down with our student population,” the activities director at the time, Randy Hockinson, told the Kenyon Leader when the move was announced. The school’s MSHSL classification enrollment is 204 and its administrative region is 1A.
