Steve Elsner has served Kentwood Public Schools for nearly 30 years in the Technology Department, dedicated to keeping our technology equipment and devices in great shape for our students and staff. Another important thing to know about Steve is that he is often impressed with the work he sees our teachers and staff doing in the classrooms and has come up with a unique (and tasty!) way to show his appreciation for the work he sees taking place in our schools.

At Kentwood Public Schools, we strive to see the school experience through the eyes of our students. In this video you will meet Cadence, a Junior at East Kentwood High School. Cadence values learning--all types of learning--and she takes advantage of the wide range of opportunities at EK. And she does this all while making sure she is a positive friend and peer for his classmates. Created in partnership with AVES Films, please enjoy Cadence's KPS story, through her eyes.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a great opportunity for students to receive hands-on learning. There is no better place to see this in action than the Culinary Arts Center at East Kentwood High School. The learning taking place in this facility is impacting students' lives today and creating opportunities for their futures. Learn about the culinary arts programming in this video from the teachers who lead it.

Match Day is an important moment for an individual pursuing a career as a doctor as med students find out on this day where they will go for their residencies.

The Kentwood Aquatic Center located at East Kentwood High School is a popular gathering spot for members of our community. Folks of all ages begin arriving at the pool before the sun comes up and keep coming until well into the evening.
