The true excellence of Kinnelon High School comes from the dedication of the faculty, the motivation of the students, and the strong support of the parents and community. Our ever-growing achievements in academics, the arts, and athletics are an outcome of these three trademarks of Kinnelon education.

In addition to an extensive array of honors and college-preparatory courses, we offer students 14 AP courses and three courses credited by Syracuse University. Offerings include an AP Physics/Calculus Learning Community, a freshmen learning community for college-prep students, and a four year sequence in Latin. A wide variety of electives typically found only in a large high school includes Business Education, a senior project elective, Architecture, and Television and Video production. Numerous offerings in the fine, performing, and technical arts as well as elective offerings in each major discipline, provide Kinnelon students with opportunities for a superior, well-rounded educational experience.

Kinnelon High School students participate in a broad program of both athletic and co-curricular activities. Our athletic program consisting of a full complement of Fall, Winter, and Spring interscholastic sports has achieved an increasing number of conference, individual, and state championships, in addition to being recognized by the state for its sportsmanship. An increasing number of our athletes are competing in Division I,II and III college programs after graduation. In addition our students participate in a large number of academic, community service, leadership, and performing / literary arts clubs. Students and teams participating in all of these areas continue to win awards and recognition for their publications as well as their academic, musical, and athletic achievements.

The entrances of our building display a coat of arms that serves as a reminder to all who enter of the commitment that our school community has to our honor code. All of these factors contribute to our school's continued success.
