The Kenton County School District proudly presents the Academies of Innovation and Technology! Each fall, we welcome over 4,000 high school students into our three high schools -three high schools that in the past have been fierce rivals and competitors. Under the new academy structure, rivals will become teammates working toward common goals in 21st century classroom. Our three high schools are collaborating to ready their students to compete in today’s complex, growing, global market.
For maximum efficiency and effectiveness, the physical structure of the academies permits our school district to maximize our resources without compromising the needed resources for each academy. For example, a student enrolled at Simon Kenton High School might travel to Dixie Heights High School to attend the Media Arts Academy. In the recent past, such a concept seemed foreign. However, our 21st century learners welcome the opportunity to participate in a learning climate that facilitates their growth and potential in their career field of interest giving them the competitive edge post graduation.
The 21st century landscape of our school district will still feature Simon Kenton Pioneers, Dixie Colonels, and Scott Eagles continuing to compete on the athletic field. However, as a united front, our three high schools will team up with business and industry professionals in the classroom to learn how to compete together in a global economy.
Sincerely,
Dr. Terri Cox-Cruey
Superintendent
