Campus Additions and Programs
Kokomo High School occupies the original two-story building and the two expansions. KHS is also linked on to the Kokomo Area Career Center (KACC), a nationally acclaimed program. Kokomo High School also has many athletic facilities. The campus features two indoor gymnasiums, a swimming and diving pool, four soccer fields, a football/track stadiums, ten tennis courts, two softball diamonds and one baseball diamond. The high school competes in the North Central Conference for athletics. Construction began on the school after the end of the 2006-2007 term.
Kokomo High School receives government dollars to add unique amenities to the campus such as plasma screen televisions in the foyer, and an outdoor locker room for track and football. These features have been met with some criticism, as art and music programs have been cut to provide more funding to athletic endeavors. However, the athletic teams are a very positive resource for the school, and the community, and many praise the school for their innovativeness.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
