Kinnick HS: Principal's Corner

Principal's Message

Welcome to Nile C. Kinnick HS

Dr. Obeng and I are excited about this new school year as we Educate, Engage and Empower our students to succeed in a dynamic world. At Nile C. Kinnick High School, we focus on our four guiding principles: developing Fortitude, instilling Integrity, cultivating Responsibility and kindling an Enterprising spirit.  You will hear a lot about these traits throughout the year.

To support our teachers with the implementation of the College and Career Readiness Standards, our school will release every Tuesday at 1320. This weekly, one hour release provides time for teachers to collaboratively plan, review student work and determine instructional adjustments needed to assist with student success.

To learn more about DoDEA's College and Career Readiness Initiative, you can review the standards at College and Career Ready (CCR)

Overall, it is our vision that Kinnick High School provides a collaborative, 21st century learning experience. KHS remains focused on each student's individual success. Our school improvement goals provide a holistic approach to education including a focus on academic success, community building, post-secondary planning and social/emotional health. KHS's school improvement goals are:

  • Kinnick High School will improve student performance in mathematics in relation to DoDEA College and Career Ready Standards.

  • Kinnick High School will improve student performance in literacy in relation to DoDEA College and Career Ready Standards.

  • Kinnick High School will ensure the 21st Century Critical Skills of Collaboration Across Networks and Learning By Influence, Creativity and Innovation, Communication and Critical Thinking and Problem Solving  are embedded to educate, engage, and empower students to succeed in a dynamic world.

I'm very excited about having your young men and women join our community. We look forward to working with you to make this a successful, productive, and rewarding school year for all students.

Very Respectfully,

Principal, Nile C. Kinnick High School
