DID YOU KNOW?
The Class of 1981 was the last class to graduate from the "original style" grade 8-12 Kenston Forest?  (The school absorbed the Blackstone Day School and Kenbridge Day School that fall to become a PreK-Grade 12 institution.)

Since the Class of 1981, there has not been a larger graduating class.

To jog your memory and provide a little nostalgia, here are a few significant events that occurred in our graduation year.
