As we begin another year at Kendrick High School, we look forward to working with the students and achieving our goal that every student can be successful.  Kendrick High School was one of the first schools in Columbus to begin block scheduling. This has given our students more options in choosing classes and has made the different programs more exciting. We can look with pride at activities already recognized as being among the best. I ask that you involve yourselves with the activities of your teen. Together we will become the outstanding school your child deserves. We look forward to another excellent year.

The mission of Kendrick High School is "Learning for Life." This mission is derived from seven basic beliefs:

• Student learning should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school.
• All students can learn.
• Students need to apply their learning in meaningful contexts.
• Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
• Schools need to function as a learning organization and promote opportunities for all those who have a stake in the success of the school to work together as a community of learners.
• The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.

There are two primary goals at Kendrick High School:

• Students will become knowledgeable learners and critical thinkers.
• School climate will encourage positive intervention through improved service to parents, students, and community.

Kendrick's Partners in Education volunteer time and funds to help support the programs and faculty. Parents help as mentors to students and as assistants for special projects. The Kendrick PTSA supports the faculty and students.
