Starting in the fall of 1965, North Kansas City High School will become one of two secondary schools in our district, the other being the new Oak Park High School located at 825 East 79th Terrace North. With the opening of this 33,200,000 building, no longer will one secondary school unite the patrons of this sprawling school sys- tem. Two schools will share the task of unification. No longer will one high school have the sole responsibility of presenting a good image of today's teen-agers before the adult population of the area. Students of Oak Park will help mirror this image. No longer will the students of NKCHS be the only ones to bring pride and honor to our public school district by their scholas- tic achievements. Their peers at Oak Park will also be called upon to pro- vide their share of prestige. No longer will the Hornets be the only team to represent good sportsmanship on the athletic field. The conduct of the teams from Oak Park will also be under scrutiny. .- These two schools, one a traditional favorite, the other a promising new- comer, will have to set the example for other schools in other school districts and for all the high schools which will be added to the North Kansas City school system in the years ahead by their friendly rivalry and their gentle- manlike competition. It is the begin- ning of a new era for the people of our district. The students of North Kansas City High School and those of Oak Park High School will join in the com- mon pursuit of educational excellence and share equally in the educational opportunities afforded them in this dis- trict. It is a milestone in the history of education in southeastern Clay County. TO UPHOLD THE HIGH STANDARDS SET BY THE MORE THAN 9,500 GRADUATES OF NKCHS SINCE 1921, THIS BOOK IS A TRIBUTE.

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.
