It's a good school great opportunity to make friends and find your people. Can sometimes be favoritism shown like any other school but the cafeteria food is pretty decent. They have some clubs that you are very hands on like do activities, trips, and volunteering. They're are a lot of staff who don't just look at you as people they have to watch but they'll treat you like they care for you make sure you're having a good day or so on.

Attending James kenan highschool has been the best thing that ever happened to my life. before I came to James Keenan I was very shy and didn't really talk much.throughout my four years of high school I have developed friendships with not just the students but also with the teachers.everyone there is so loving and caring and it allowed me to express myself beyond my abilities.I thank the teachers at james Kenan high school For believing in me when I did not believe in myself everything happens for a reason and I'm so glad that I got to experience my four years of high school being at James Kenan high school in Warsaw North Carolina.

At james kenan I like how there are so many biracial friendships and how that changes things from the past to the present. I am a current softball player for james kenan high school and i had good memories being a james kenan cheerleader for 2 years. My most favorite memory of jk is the dances we have.

I hate it. Some teachers dont explain or interact with us. And they wonder why we failing. Some teachers out there only teach for the pay. There is only about 4 good teacher out there that really want to help the students. They get new teachers out of college who dont know anything at all
