District News

Valleywood teacher Elijah Lewis knows what it's like to be a student in Kentwood Public Schools. Elijah was a student himself at Southwood Elementary, Pinewood Middle School, the East Kentwood Freshman Campus, and also East Kentwood High School, where he graduated from in 2016. This Forever Falcon attributes many of his successes in life to the teachers who supported him over the years in our dynamic Kentwood community. He has now returned to the district to serve his community as a teacher. Please enjoy this Falcon Feature on Elijah Lewis.

The Kentwood community has partnered with the district to make early childhood learning a priority for our youngest learners. KPS is highlighting this partnership by hosting community playgroups at its new Early Childhood Center Main Campus twice a week.
