KSD #39 was able to open the High School FEMA building last night for our community to seek shelter once the tornado warning was activated.
Thanks to the support from our community to build the FEMA building, we were able to welcome almost 500 people last night!

Congratulations to Our SkillsUSA District Winners!
KCTC is incredibly proud to present our SkillsUSA district champions! These talented students put their skills to the test on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, competing against students from across southeast Missouri—from Doniphan to Sikeston and beyond. Each of these hardworking individuals placed in the top three in their respective fields!
But their journey isn’t over yet! On April 9th, some of these students will head to Jefferson City and then to Linn State College, where they’ll compete against the top two students from each district in Missouri at the SkillsUSA State Competition.
Let’s give a huge round of applause to these dedicated young men and women for their achievements so far. Wish them luck as they go on to represent the Bootheel at the state level! #SkillsUSA #KCTC #FutureChampions #HardWorkPaysOff
Sophomores from our sending schools got the chance to see our students in action this week. This gives them a chance to learn what each program represents and see if they're interested in taking the classes next year. Pictured are students in Graphics showing them how to make buttons and bind books.
Graphic students practiced on button-making before helping out on printing DECA shirts.
Kayla Bradley showed off her skill in DECA and is advancing to state!! We are so proud of her accomplishments!!
Due to the road conditions in town, Kennett #39 School District will be CLOSED on Friday, February 21, 2025. We will be using our fourth AMI day to ensure continued learning from home. Stay safe, stay warm, and we’ll see you soon!

Due to inclement weather, the Kennett #39 School District will release school early today at 12:45. We will make a decision about school for tomorrow as soon as possible.
The Kennett #39 School District will be in session Tuesday, February 18th. This is scheduled to be a full day of school. However, we will be closely monitoring incoming weather. There is a chance we will need to dismiss students early. We wanted to send this announcement out early for parents to have a backup plan in place in the event we do have to dismiss early.
We will send out additional information as we learn more about the incoming weather.
