KMHS Student Designs Kennesaw Logo

Congratulations to junior Rachel Fred, whose  logo design took first place in a competition commemorating the City of Kennesaw's 125^th anniversary.

Rachel's design, selected from over a dozen submissions by high school art and graphic design students, incorporates elements like and Kennesaw Mountain. The logo, which earned her a $125 gift certificate, will also be featured in all promotional pieces produced by the city which commemorate the anniversary.

“The creativity and skill of the Kennesaw Mountain students was effectively demonstrated in their designs. We were quite impressed with all of them,” said Mayor Mark Mathews, one of the members of the selection committee.  “It was very hard to choose a winner, but Rachel’s design really captured the spirit of Kennesaw.” 

Rachel is the daughter of Bob and Cindy Fred. She hopes to pursue a career as a graphic artist after she graduates.

Kennesaw officially received its charter on Sept. 21, 1887 when a petition was presented to the legislature for incorporation. The city will conduct its main commemorative program during the Taste of Kennesaw event on Sept. 8. 

The city will also celebrate in April.
