Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!

There is always something exciting about the start of a new school year and I look forward to welcoming our new and returning students.  I am a true believer in KM students and the Kent community. I grew up in Kent and have worked in our district as a teacher and administrator since 1999.  I could not be more honored to serve the KM community in my 5^th year as principal.

Vision

The KM faculty and staff work to prepare our students to take on the responsibilities of college, career, family, and citizenship by providing our students with a safe, inclusive and high-quality education.  Students may challenge themselves through rigorous International Baccalaureate and College in the High School courses and earn college-level credits without having to leave our high school campus.

Belonging

One of the huge strengths of the KM community comes from the diversity of our people. We have different languages, races, ethnicities, religions, and ideas - more than any other high school in the state. We value our diversity, and we celebrate who we are!

Above all, we want our students to know that everyone BELONGS at KM. Everyone has a different story and circumstances in life, but our school is here to support you and help you grow.

Ignite

More than ever, we want our students to partner with us in shaping our school culture.  Remote learning left a gap in our culture and climate that needs to be bridged by connecting with our students in ways we have not tried before.  New to KM this year is a student-led program called Ignite.

Our Ignite program is engaging 100+ students to develop their leadership skills and co-construct the school environment they would like to see for themselves and their peers.  As leaders and mentors, our students will positively influence the school experience for years to come.

Each school year seems to have its own challenges and opportunities.  To our students, I want you to know that this can be the greatest school year ever.  Join me on this journey as we honor every student, every voice, every day.
