Campus Additions and Programs
Kokomo High School occupies the original two-story building and the two expansions. KHS is also linked on to the Kokomo Area Career Center (KACC), a nationally acclaimed program. Kokomo High School also has many athletic facilities. The campus features two indoor gymnasiums, a swimming and diving pool, four soccer fields, a football/track stadiums, ten tennis courts, two softball diamonds and one baseball diamond. The high school competes in the North Central Conference for athletics. Construction began on the school after the end of the 2006-2007 term.
Kokomo High School receives government dollars to add unique amenities to the campus such as plasma screen televisions in the foyer, and an outdoor locker room for track and football. These features have been met with some criticism, as art and music programs have been cut to provide more funding to athletic endeavors. However, the athletic teams are a very positive resource for the school, and the community, and many praise the school for their innovativeness.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
