Kent City Schools Where Excellence is a Tradition is more than a tagline to me. After serving as your Superintendent of Schools for three years, I know from experience that our teachers, students and staff are committed to excellence and it shows! Our Roosevelt graduates are prepared to meet the challenges of today s complex global society. Every student benefits from the strong academic programs we offer, as well as extensive choices in music, drama, art, foreign languages and many others. Every day, I witness the commitment and caring of our staff as they work to help each child succeed. Thank you for all you do to support the Kent City Schools. George J.
