History

Kenston High School developed out the now defunct Bainbridge High School in the mid-twentieth century. At its inception it was a vocational school, similar to the nearby Auburn Career Center of today, but eventually evolved into a four-year academic high school. In 2006 the high school was moved from the current middle school to where it is now.

Athletics

Kenston athletic teams are known as the Bombers, inspired by the B-25 bombers which used to fly over the school from the nearby Ravenna Arsenal. [3] The school logo most commonly used is of a B-52 bomber, which is also shown on the school's website.
