PART I: CURRENT SCHOOL STATUS

SCHOOL PROFILE/DEMOGRAPHICS


Brief History and Background of the School

Kathleen Senior High School is one of four public high schools in Lakeland, Florida. Kathleen High School was founded in 1928 and opened it doors in 1929 as a “strawberry school.” The current site of KHS was established in 1961 and has seen tremendous growth over the years. The student population is drawn from diverse areas in and around Lakeland including urban, suburban and rural areas. Our feeder schools include Sleepy Hill Middle School, Kathleen Middle School, Rochelle School of the Arts, Southwest Middle School, and Lawton Chiles Middle Academy The vast majority of our students are from Sleepy Hill Middle School and Kathleen Middle School.
In addition to the traditional curriculum available, we also offer courses in vocational areas including Culinary Arts, Child Development, Agriculture (animal, mechanical and horticulture sciences), Drafting, Auto Mechanics, Business (Distrotek), Aerospace (CFAA), and Criminal Justice. KHS currently offers AP courses in Social Studies, Foreign Language, Math, English, Social Studies, Art, and Music Theory.

There are many opportunities for students to become involved at KHS. Co-curricular offerings include Band, Chorus, Yearbook, and Drama. Extracurricular offerings, such as service clubs, National Honor Society, student government, athletics and special interest clubs are available to interested students as well.


Unique School Strengths for Next Year

Kathleen Senior High School has a variety of unique strengths that will promote school success. Kathleen Senior High School offers its students a wide range of career academy options to help increase achievement. The school is also offering more Advanced Placement coursework than ever before.


Unique School Weaknesses for Next Year

A major weakness is a growing population of students attending without parental support. These students are living on their own and required to work full time to support themselves. Kathleen Senior High School must provide a quality education for these students as well as the general population.
