There, he averaged 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists as a sophomore. He also enjoyed a standout summer on the Nike EYBL Circuit in 2023 and was named MVP of the 2022 Adidas 3SSB 17U Championship.

Ranked No. 31 among centers and No. 182 overall in the 247Sports composite ranking, Kirouac attended North Forsyth High School in Cumming, where he was named honorable mention all-state and also to the 6A Region 8 all-region team for his play throughout the 2022-23 season. Kirouac made the 6A Region 8 all-tournament team for his performance in the postseason and was selected to play in the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association all-star game after the season. For the 2022-23 season, he averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds and two blocked shots per game. He played AAU ball for the Atlanta Xpress and finished fifth in rebounding on the UA Next Circuit in 2023 (8.2 rpg).
