Your Dream is Our Dream
Celebrating Student Success
Your Dream is Our Dream is an initiative of Kent ISD and its member districts to showcase student success stories at every step of the education journey in our schools and unique programs. It features interviews with and stories of students who are succeeding at every level from early childhood programs to pre-K, K-12, Adult Ed, Special Ed and Center Programs, along with the educators who are helping them reach their dreams and goals. When our students succeed, we all succeed.

Ava Driskell is a junior at Kent City High School who spends part of her day at Kent Career Tech Center studying criminal justice. Having struggled — as many students did — through the COVID years of her middle and high school career, finding something to study that she was passionate about was a life-saver.
