Education
Kennett has several departments, including English, Mathematics, Foreign Languages, Science, and Arts. The school also has an outstanding Career-Tech department, which includes several shops and classrooms fitted with updated technology. These rooms are often looked at as a key point of the new school building. The department includes a woodshop, a metal shop, an auto shop, a drafting and architecture room and a kitchen where culinary students are able to serve food to the public in the "Mineral Springs Cafe". The school has been working to improve its SAT scores and is now ahead of several national averages for testing standards, and has also lowered the dropout rate since 2007-2008, the first year in the new building.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.”
—Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
