The two schools have similar school colors and mascots (SHS's colors and mascot were blue and gold and the Pirates, compared to navy blue and silver and the Buccaneers of KIHS). Between 1966 and 1998, residents of Kent Island attended Queen Anne's County High School.

Kent Island High School serves grades 9-12. Kent Island High School's sports teams are members of the Bayside conference and 2A East region in Maryland.
