Kinston Tough and Viking Strong KHS Staff firmly believe the following statements listed. Every student has value and can learn.

Kinston High School staff and community is committed to creating a challenging, productive, and safe environment where students work together with staff and the community and strive to be competitive 21st century learners. Kinston High School's mission is to graduate students who are academically and socially prepared to function as productive members in a global community by providing a challengi

ng curriculum and opportunities to develop their talents and skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Education is the collective responsibility of all stakeholders including parents, students, staff members, and community members. School attendance, participation and involvement in extracurricular activities promote student achievement. An effective school provides rigor and challenges to all students. Professional growth of school personnel contributes to effective learning. Diversity promotes and broadens understanding. A safe school is essential to learning. Taking KHS to the Next Level is something we strive to do for our students. We increased our number of field trips, community activities, and overall life experiences for our students during the 2021-2022 school year and will continue this year as well. Band Competitions, JROTC trips and trainings, Community volunteer events, college visits and Student conferences are just a few of the opportunities provided for our students. For many of our students these events have led to other opportunities narrowing our students’ focus on their next steps after graduation.

🎓📚 Spring Semester Exams Are Here, Vikings! 📚🎓
Spring Semester Exams are a critical opportunity to finish the year strong and show what you have learned. Attendance and participation during exams are mandatory, and every day counts as we move through review sessions and final preparations.

Be present.
Be on time.
Be prepared.
Give your very best effort every single day.

Review sessions are designed to help you succeed, strengthen your understanding, and build confidence before exam day. Missing school, arriving late, or checking out mentally can impact your performance and your future opportunities.
Now is the time to lock in, stay focused, and finish with pride. Your hard work, discipline, and determination matter.

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier

Let’s finish the semester the Viking Way — focused, motivated, and committed to excellence!

Vikings take on DC! A trip down memory lane has our Vikings discussing important moments in history. What a fun and educational day as some of our Vikings take on the sites and scenes of Washington, DC. Special thank you to Kyonna Kelly, a Kinston High School alumnae for making it all possible.
