    KENNEBUNK HIGH SCHOOL “Preparing responsible, contributing citizens in a global society.” Susan F. Cressey, Principal Bruce A. Lewia, Assistant Principal Jason J. Sullivan, Assistant Principal International Students, It would be an honor to welcome you to Kennebunk High School. We believe that we offer an exceptional educational experience with courses ranging from Advanced Placement to International Baccalaureate to STEM. Our students are very engaged in the learning process and are encouraged to look at information from different perspectives. They must do more than just memorize content; they have to apply the content as they work on labs in science, have Socratic Seminars in literature classes, participate in roundtable discussions on history and current events, and use foreign languages to do research and make presentations. Kennebunk High School also offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Forty percent of our students play on sports teams, including, but not limited to: basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, skiing, tennis and wrestling. Our school offers more than thirty clubs, which meet after school and in the evenings. Student Council, for example, offers a forum for student discussions, and the Future Business Leaders of America Club runs the school store. From Improv to Debate to the Radio Club, many students pursue an area of interest outside of the academic curriculum. Kennebunk High School serves the towns of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, and Arundel. These towns, which offer social and economic diversity, also serve as bedroom communities for industries and commercial establishments in surrounding towns and cities. Our unique location affords recreational activities along the coastline of Maine, as well as easy access to the Boston area.
