The 2025-26 school year began on Monday, August 25 with each student receiving the message that they belong in Kentwood Public Schools. Please enjoy this video of some first day highlights created by our partners at AVES Films. Go Falcons!

Throughout this school year, we have been sharing the stories of Kentwood Public Schools Through the Eyes of Our Students. Please enjoy this look back at East Kentwood High School's graduation, through Robel's eyes. Experience the joy and excitement for students, families, and staff that this celebratory event brings. 

Kentwood Public Schools is committed to sharing our students' stories, through their eyes, to highlight their individual experiences as students in KPS and to share more about our district from the people who matter most--our students. In this video you will meet Emani and Brooklyn. Their friendship began as first graders at Explorer Elementary and has thrived all the way into East Kentwood High School and their place on the EK Track and Field team. Hear more about this enduring and endearing Falcon Friendship -- Through the Eyes of Our Students.

For close to 40 years, students in the East Kentwood High School Residential Construction class have participated in building numerous homes throughout the community. In this video, students share their thoughts on what this ultimate real-world learning experience means to them.

Kentwood Public Schools continues to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff this month by sharing Falcon Features of just a few of the many dedicated staff who make an impact on our students each and every day. We invite you to get to know Vincent Mayfield--a Pinewood MIddle School teacher, coach, and a Forever Falcon.
