The District has had a complete jointure of all grades since 1932. It was reorganized as a third class district on June 30, 1966, and retained its original designation — Kennett Consolidated School District.

The District is fortunate in that the composition of the student body is balanced, including 5% African-American and 35 % Hispanic. Religious, ethnic, and minority groups are representative of national averages. The Kennett Consolidated School District is committed to a high quality educational program and continues to seek improvements in all areas of instruction.

Faculty for the operation of the District is provided by a certified staff of classroom teachers, guidance counselors, reading specialists, librarians, nurses, special teachers, and psychologists. There are six principals, three assistant high school principals, and two assistant middle school principals. Working closely with the Superintendent are the Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services, Assistant to the Superintendent for Business Services, Director of Facilities, Director of Special Education, and Supervisors of Curriculum.
