Student Focused … World Class

A MESSAGE FROM

DSURPE.RAINITLESNDHEINET

As I reflect on the many accomplishments of the students and staff of Kingsport City
Schools this past year, it is hard not to be in awe of all that has transpired in our
schools and community. It is certainly a testimony to what can occur when a shared
vision is embraced by a talented group of adults and children in an ambitious pursuit
of excellence. To compile all of that great work and success in one document has
been a monumental task, but we are excited to present the 2014-2015 Kingsport City
Schools Annual Report to you. It is a reflection of what has been accomplished, as well as a glimpse as to where
we hope to go in our journey of being student focused and world class.
Each and every day in our schools, children and staff are working to do whatever it takes to make sure all KCS
students maximize their individual potential. This may involve teachers and staff using data to determine the
best possible steps to help a child grow academically. It might be a coach who works with athletes to help them
improve and work together as a team. It might be a teacher who helps shape a child’s artistic or musical ability. It may be a staff member who
provides the support needed for a child to have a healthy meal or learn about positive physical habits. It may be those critical employees that
ensure that our buildings are safe and clean, that our children arrive at school and are transported home safely each afternoon. The list describing
the ways we strive to be “student focused” goes on and on, and we realize that our community expects the very best of us in this area.
I am excited to see the results of these efforts, which indicate that, in so many ways, we are on the right track on our journey to “world class.” KCS
students are achieving at record levels, scoring the highest composite ACT scores on record. More students than ever are taking and succeeding
in rigorous academic courses, as evidenced by our placement on the prestigious AP® District Honor Roll. Our athletes, musicians, scholars, and
staff members are consistently recognized across the state and throughout the country as being the best of the best. The State Collaborative on
Reforming Education (SCORE) awarded KCS the Tennessee SCORE Prize as the best district in Tennessee. Multiple other publications and ratings
services place Dobyns-Bennett High School and KCS among the very best in Tennessee and the United States.
We recognize, however, that “world class” is not a destination to ever be reached, but a vision we will continue to embrace each and every day.
This is the is expectation of our citizens, and one that through the efforts of everyone with Kingsport City Schools… students, parents, staff,
administrators, and community members… we will continue to strive for. I thank you for joining us in that pursuit and for reviewing this Annual
Report detailing our progress. We are excited to share the story of Kingsport City Schools with you!
