[1] On April 10, 2017, the Taylor School District Board voted 4–3 to close Kennedy High School due to declining enrollment and cost savings. [6]
The school closed permanently after the 2018 school year, with its students and staff merged with Harry S. Truman High School to form a new school, called Taylor High School.
