Remember the morning you finally made the ascent? That milestone transition from 5th to 6th form, marked by the tradition of painting your class colors for the entire valley to see, remains a defining Kent memory.
Come represent your class year, help your class take the top spot on the class leaderboard, and unlock $120,000 for the Kent Fund.
Let’s celebrate 12 decades of Kent leadership together. Whenever you graduate, your participation proves the Kent connection remains rock-solid.
