Message from the Superintendent

Good evening, families and community members,

We are looking forward to welcoming our students back to school on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and we are excited to see everyone back on campus! Please note that school will be in session, and while road conditions have improved in most areas, our buses will not travel on roads that remain covered in ice. Student safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. We also ask everyone to use extreme caution when loading and unloading at each campus. Students, donโ€™t forget to bring your Chromebook back to school with you!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We canโ€™t wait to see our students tomorrow!

On Wednesday, Sports and Entertainment Marketing and the Marketing Co-Op classes learned from Kennett's own, Gary Figgins about Branding and Logos that tell a story. Mr. Figgins brings a wealth of knowledge and experience through his magazine, Show-Me Missouri and his work with the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Kennett on this very topic! Thank you, Mr. Figgins on a very engaging day!

Kennett Board of Public Works Partners with KCTC to Provide Internship Opportunities

Students at the Kennett Career and Technology Center (KCTC) recently had the opportunity to hear from representatives of the Kennett Board of Public Works (KBPW) about the many internship opportunities available within their organization. These internships provide valuable, real-world experience in several key departments, including Natural Gas, Water/Sewer, Information Technology, and Fleet Mechanics.
As a proud Partner in Education with KCTC, KBPW has hosted 11 interns over the past two years, with four of those students transitioning into full-time positions. This collaboration provides students with meaningful hands-on learning experiences while helping to strengthen the local workforce and community.
KCTC extends its sincere appreciation to the Kennett Board of Public Works for their continued partnership and investment in our studentsโ€™ career development and success.
