During my four years at Kentlake, I have made more friends than I had ever thought I would. The culture here at Kentlake is welcoming and friendly, and I found a home where I never thought possible. When you think of sports you think of a place where you can be yourself and have fun. Coming into Kentlake I knew playing for the soccer team would be a struggle. Coming off of a no win season it was going to be a lot of hardship and struggle to make any change. But we became a family and got through all of it together. Coming up on my last few months of being a senior I look back on my past years with no regrets. I wouldn't change any of it. Kentlake High School has become a home for me and I will always be grateful for my friends and my family there.

The school is just an average public school. Some teachers were really great while other teachers and faculty were alright or not the best. There were quite a few fights and gun threats among other things. The sports were a lot of fun but the teams weren't the greatest. Overall just an alright, average school.
