CONWAY — Kennett High is safer than it was two years ago, according to statistics shared by Principal Kevin Carpenter with the Conway School Board on Monday.
KHS Student Body President Sophie Saunders, said: “It feels like the students and the administration are working together. The big difference, I think, is that the students feel they are being heard and understood by the administration. It’s definitely a much more positive environment.”
