For the North Kansas City School district, excellence began in the minds of a few far-sighted men in 1913 when they planned the construction of a school for the area being settled cmd developed north of the Missouri River in Clay County. In September of that year the plans of these men became a reality with the opening of the first secondary school. This building was erected at Twenty-first and Howell and named the Kenneth School. From 1913 to 1925 this wooden structure served as the sole institution for secondary learn- ing for the entire population of the Northland area. In the spring of 1921 the first class to receive high school diplomas consisted of only two stu- dents, both of whom were girls. Later, in 1922, the physical education depart- ment was added to the curriculum and all the athletic events were played in the daytime on a field just south of the present I. C. Penney Company on Swift Avenue. Each year the district con- tinued to grow with the addition of more course offerings and more quali- fied teachers. Finally in 1924 the bonds for a new high school were approved. Today the old Kenneth School no long- er exists except as a memory of how the North Kansas City secondary edu- cational system began.
