[edit] Athletics
Kentridge is a part of the North Division in Washington's 4A South Puget Sound League. The school has no clear rival due to the close proximity of the four Kent high schools and Tahoma. Instead certain sports may consider one of the local schools a rival for a time, but all sports strive to beat the other Kent schools.
The most recent team State Championship was won by the Fastpitch Softball team in 2002.
Other recent state results have been:
- 2nd in 2007 for Boys Basketball
