We offer many programs to meet a variety of students’ interests and needs. KHS has high expectations for each student and offers the guidance and support to ensure that all students receive help in a timely, direct, and systematic manner. Assistance begins with our caring and competent teachers and extends to guided study halls, a learning center for all students, and KHS PM, an after-school homework program. The first two years at KHS prepare students for entrance into a number of programs during their junior and senior years. These include, but are not limited to: Advanced Placement courses, the International Baccalaureate Programme, early college classes, vocational programs, on-line classes, apprenticeships, and an alternative education program. The STEM Scholar Program provides students the opportunity to earn a STEM certificate upon graduation. Our goal is to match each student with an appropriate pathway based on his/her interests and learning style. Parents in our community are actively involved in their sons’ and daughters’ educations. Communication is encouraged through an annual Open House and parent-teacher-student conferences in the fall and spring. Vehicles such as the on-line grading portal and the school’s web site are in place to provide other means of communication. KHS is fortunate to receive community support through generous scholarships, parent representation on school and district committees, and assistance with Project Graduation and other class projects. Students are encouraged to get involved in extra-curricular activities and athletics. KHS offers a variety of team sports, as well as many clubs. The fall and spring plays and the spring musical are highlights of our year, as is the annual art exhibit. Events such as Homecoming, Snowball, I have many fond memories of Kennebunk High School Spirit Week, and the Prom provide memorable high school experiences. The We Care projects done in November and December, as well as the community service requirement, encourage and made numerous life-long friends there - teachers students to give back to the community, nation, and world. among them.

    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.
