Kent citizens have a history of enthusiastically supporting their schools, a reflection of the community's aspirations and vision for its young people. Community partnerships help form a solid bond between local businesses, industries and the schools.

Kent State University and the Kent Schools collaborate on a number of academic projects, including shared instructor time, staff development, cutting-edge technology projects and training for teachers.

A five-year Strategic Plan, focusing on teaching and learning, guides the future of the Kent Schools. As a Standard Bearer School District, one of only 10 in the United States, Kent Schools play a key role in this prestigious, national school reform initiative.
