Kent School in Media
The book (and 1999 film adaptation) Outside Providence is a fictionalized account of Peter Farrelly's experiences at the school.
The animated TV show Family Guy is written by alumnus Seth MacFarlane. In 1999, the school's headmaster, Father Schell, wrote to a number of companies urging them not to advertise with the TV show calling it obnoxious. Seth MacFarlane's parents, who worked at the school, resigned in protest.

Famous quotes containing the words kent, school and/or media:
“Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to

And I shall die an old Parisian.”

—Joanne Woodward (b. 1930)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
