School Overview

Kemp High School is the sole secondary campus serving the Kemp Independent School District in Kemp, Texas. Located on State Highway 274, the school serves students in grades 9 through 12. As a rural Texas high school, it functions as the focal point of the local community, offering a traditional academic curriculum alongside various extracurricular activities, including athletics, fine arts, and career and technical education (CTE) programs designed to prepare students for both higher education and the workforce.
