Raymond S. Kellis High School is a public secondary school located in Glendale, Arizona, United States. The high school is currently a part of the Peoria Unified School District. The school opened its doors in August 2004 due to overcrowding at Peoria High School and rapid population growth in the surrounding area. Currently, approximately 1,850 students are enrolled, and because of this, Kellis is a Class 4A Division I school, as rated by the Arizona Interscholastic Association. Their mascot is the Cougar. Raymond S. Kellis is considered the third largest high school in the Peoria Unified School District, by student population. The principal is Jeff Wooten and vice principals include Rosa McCollum, Dale Nicol, and Stanley Patterson.
Kellis High School is located near the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, and Jobing.com Arena, home of the Phoenix Coyotes.
