Northeast Kings Education Centre (NKEC or Northeast Kings), is a high school that opened in September 2001. It is located on Bains Road in Canning, Nova Scotia.
The school replaced the high schools of Kings County Academy in Kentville, and Cornwallis District High School, in Canning.
NKEC's students come from the Canning, Kentville, and Centreville areas of Kings County. Students arrive at NKEC after attending Kings County Academy, Aldershot Elementary School or Glooscap Elementary School. The school receives most of its competition from schools such as Horton High School, whose students come mainly from the New Minas, Wolfville, Hantsport and Port Williams area, as well Central Kings High School (CK), whose students come mainly from the Coldbrook and Cambridge area. The schools are located in Greenwich and Cambridge, respectively.
The school has a large gymnasium that can be divided into two separate gyms so both the middle school and high school can use it at the same time, a cafeteria, a small library and many classrooms. It has a stage that opens for viewing in the cafeteria or the gymnasium as well as an outdoor stage and seating. The school also has a soccer field, outdoor basketball courts, and a rink (Glooscap Arena) all within walking distance of the campus.
In athletics, the school offers badminton, basketball, cross country, football, golf, hockey, ping-pong, track & field, cheer-leading, softball, volleyball, and soccer. The school has won provincial championships in badminton (multiple), girls and boys soccer (multiple), boys hockey (multiple), girls basketball, track and field, cross country, table tennis (multiple) and division 3 football.
There are many extra-curricular opportunities available to students at Northeast Kings. Students can get involved with the improv club (which attends the Nova Scotia High School Drama Festival each year). The Ready, Set, Cook! team provides students with an opportunity to learn about food handling, cooking, and eventually they will compete in a culinary arts competition. NKEC's Youth in Action group organizes fundraising campaigns each year to help support global causes, including the building of a school in Sierra Leone.
