Wildcat Productions, supported by the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund, uses students at Kenton High School to create multimedia projects for the staff and students throughout the district. The district offers a variety of course offerings and extracurricular activities, with an emphasis on a core education in addition to opportunities for college preparatory, technical, and vocational studies. The district's continuous improvement plan is a result of a regular review of subject areas being taught, changes in methodology, students needs and changes in goals and objectives due to state mandates. The entire geographic area is enriched in Indian legend. Today, a stable and family-oriented community of 8,500, Kenton is within an hour and fifteen minutes from downtown Columbus.
Several universities are within close proximity allowing for higher educational opportunities.
Every Labor Day weekend, the National Field Dog Trials, is enjoyed by over 50,000 people, making it the largest field trials in the world.

The influence of the company remains a part of community life today through the Gene Autry Days Festival celebrated annually in June showcasing old toys and Western collectibles.
