About Our High School

Here at Kent we strive for each of our students to take ownership in their learning and our school as a whole. We value diversity and acceptance of all individuals, this includes but is not limited to race, religion, gender identification, sexuality, socioeconomic status, etc. Our students and staff come from various backgrounds and we like to believe that our love and respect for each other, as members of this Kent family and members of our society, can ensure that each child feels seen and heard. We are so thankful that this love and acceptance is shared by our students and their families.
