Kent Island High School

Kent Island High School (KIHS) is a public high school in Stevensville, Maryland, United States that first opened in 1998 to accommodate the growing population of Queen Anne's County. The school takes its name from Kent Island, the location of the school (and the entire census-designated place of Stevensville).

The school is often seen as the successor to Stevensville High School, which closed in 1966, and was renovated and reopened as Stevensville Middle School. The two schools have similar school colors and mascots (SHS's colors and mascot were blue and gold and the Pirates, compared to navy blue and silver and the Buccaneers of KIHS). Between 1966 and 1998, residents of Kent Island attended Queen Anne's County High School.

Grades 10-12 are located at Kent Island High School, while 9th graders instead attend at an annex of the high school located at Matapeake Middle School.

Kent Island High School's sports teams are members of the Bayside conference and 2A East region in Maryland.

History

A fire broke out in a boys' bathroom at Kent Island High School on 26 September 2012.[1] Nearly twenty-five volunteer firefighters, of the Kent Island Volunteer Fire Department, responded to the blaze; a police investigation valued damages to approximately $5,000.[2]

In May 2018, the men's JV lacrosse team season was canceled due to a video of team members rubbing their genitals and buttocks into another teammate's face.[3]
