Kankakee High School

Dear Students, Parents, and Families,

As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, I am proud to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our school community. Together, we have built momentum and achieved milestones that reflect the hard work, resilience, and dedication of our students, staff, and families.

For the Class of 2025, we increased the graduation rate to 85%, ensuring more of our students are walking across the stage prepared for their next chapter. Our Freshman on Track rate also rose to 80%, setting a strong foundation for success and proving that when students start strong, they finish strong. The Class of 2025 also exemplified this spirit, earning over $13 million in scholarships—a true testament to their commitment and the support of our teachers, counselors, and families.

These achievements highlight what is possible when we create a true culture of learning. Our staff’s unwavering dedication, paired with our students’ determination, has transformed expectations and opened doors to new opportunities.

This year, we carry forward that momentum under our guiding motto: “Dream Big and Achieve More.” It is a call to action for each of us to aim higher, support one another, and continue building a school community where success is the norm.

Thank you for your continued partnership. I look forward to another outstanding year of growth, learning, and achievement.

Sincerely, 

Dr. Albert Brass Jr., Principal
