Kennewick High School has an amazing school spirit. They are very into school spirit weeks, football games, sports, clubs, activities for others to join apart of and fundraisers. Kennewick is also one of the only school in the Kennewick School District to provide IB courses to the students. The graduation rate is also higher than other schools around. Kennewick has welcomed me and has been a safe spot for me to believe in myself and my potential future which I am motivated to accomplish.

I hated the experience because whenever I tried to reachout for help nobody cared or tried to help. I would not want to ever attend that school again.

I really like the new school campus. It is very modern, compared to other high schools I have seen. Kennewick High School definitely has a place for everyone. Being in this school has taught me who I really am and what I really want in life. This school will build you up and the staff will always find ways to help you out whenever you need help. I really enjoyed my sophomore year in Kennewick High.
