Kenmoor's History Kenmoor School was opened on January 29th, 1973 and took its name from the community of its location. The building was designed with a one story view from Mason Street and a two story view from the rear. Classes are in two wings forming a U-shape with a courtyard open to the northwest. It was a duplicate of Lord Baltimore Junior High with slight modifications, costing $2,811.300.00 and taking two years to build. Its original address was 8210 Mason Street, Landover, Md; but due to traffic problems Kenmoor Drive was built as an access road and the address changed to 2500 Kenmoor Drive, Landover, Md. The school opened mid-year when court mandated busing went into effect, drawing many staff and students from Maryland Park Junior High which closed at that time. Mr. Harry A. Rose was the first principal to approximately 600 students. The students selected the Kavalier as the school mascot and the colors of green and white were adopted. Attendance rose to almost 1200 students in grades seven, eight, and nine before 1983 when the school became Kenmoor Middle School with grades seven and eight as a result of the county's decision to move ninth grades to high school buildings. In 1985 Kenmoor Middle School Talented and Gifted Magnet center opened to students from the Northern area of Prince George's County. A total of 200 students , 74 eighth graders and 124 seventh graders joined Kenmoor's local students for a differentiated programs with advanced courses. In 1987 Kenmoor became an ESOL Center, with specialized classes in English for Speakers of Other Languages. In 1989 Kenmoor was recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education for Excellence in Education. In 2005 Kenmoor added the Transition Program, specializing in classes for the emotionally impaired.
