Happy 67th Birthday, Kenston! On July 1, 1953, members of the Auburn and Bainbridge Boards of Education decided to consolidate the two districts and create the Kenston Local Schools. Their decision to merge was based on a successful trial school year in 1952, responsible financial management, growing enrollment in rural Geauga County and the ability to meet the educational needs of the students of Auburn and Bainbridge Townships.
Many things have changed in our communities and the world since Kenston’s consolidation in 1953, but our focus remains true. We continue to build on a foundation of continuous improvement and academic success.
Did you know? Kenston was chosen as the name of the new school district, taken from Kent’s Town, designating a small area in the early settlement that was common to both Auburn and Bainbridge Townships.
