Kenmore High School was a public high school in Akron, Ohio. It was 1 of 7 high schools in the Akron Public Schools district. The schools mascot was the Cardinals. They were a member of the Akron City Series athletic conference.
The original Kenmore High School was constructed in 1916. Population in the Village of Kenmore grew rapidly, which resulted in an addition the next year. It was originally part of the Coventry Township District, but was annexed to the Akron Public Schools in 1929. The school housed elementary and high school students for many years. More additions were made to the school in 1952 and 1955. The oldest parts of the school were razed, and the current Kenmore High School was built in 1981.
Kenmore merged with Garfield High School for the 2017-18 school year due to declining enrollment and rising costs. While the new building is constructed at the Garfield site, the combined school will be known as Kenmore-Garfield.
On February 23, 1985 Kenmore Boys Basketball team won the School's first City Series Title. In 2007 the Kenmore Basketball team had a sweet sixteen victory over St. Vincent - St. Mary High School by a score of 58 - 56. They continued to the regional tournament but lost to CVCA.
