Today was Dole Whip Day 2026 across Kearney School District, celebrating hundreds of Bulldog readers who kept the pages turning throughout the summer!

Students who completed our 2026 Summer Reading Incentive earned a Dole Whip by reading at least 500 minutes over the summer, helping them stay engaged with reading and maintain their skills while school was out.

This has become a wonderful six-year KSD tradition, and participation continues to grow. When the program began, 224 students completed the summer reading challenge. This year, that number climbed to an incredible 572 students!

We loved getting to celebrate some of those readers today and recognize the time and effort they put into reading this summer.

Congratulations to all 572 of our Summer Reading Incentive participants. Way to go, Bulldog readers!

The Kearney High School parking lot became a giant canvas Saturday as members of the Class of 2027 transformed their reserved parking spaces into colorful, one-of-a-kind works of art.

KHS seniors spent the day painting designs that reflect their personalities, interests, activities and plans for the future. Many brought along parents, family members and friends to lend a hand, turning Senior Parking Spot Painting Day into a wonderful combination of creativity, school spirit and time together.

The annual tradition gives seniors an opportunity to make a small piece of KHS their own during their final year while adding plenty of color and personality to the campus.

Judging from the creativity on display Saturday, the Class of 2027 understood the assignment. Take a look at some of the students and families at work!

Great Schools = Great Community.

Kearney High School was proud to welcome students and families from across the region Saturday morning for Academy Day, organized by the Office of U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley.

About 150 people representing roughly 50 families joined us in the KHS Field House on Saturday, Aug. 29, to learn more about the opportunities available through our nation’s service academies and related military programs.

Students and parents heard directly from academy and military representatives, learned more about the application and congressional nomination processes, asked questions during the formal program and then had plenty of time for one-on-one conversations at information tables.

Staff members representing Sen. Hawley, U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt and U.S. Rep. Sam Graves described the event as a tremendous success, and the academy representatives were equally pleased with the turnout and the thoughtful engagement from students and families.

Most importantly, the morning gave young people a chance to explore possibilities, talk directly with people who understand these pathways and begin imagining where their own interests, talents and desire to serve might take them.

Thank you to Sen. Hawley’s office for bringing Academy Day to Kearney High School, to all of the congressional and military representatives who shared their time and expertise, and to the KSD team members who helped make the event possible.

It was a wonderful opportunity to open our doors, serve families from throughout the region and showcase the kind of community we are proud to call home.

Great Schools = Great Community.

Now THAT is a way to start a season!

Kearney High School football opened the 2026 campaign in impressive fashion Friday night, earning a 42-0 victory over the Belton Pirates at Bulldog Stadium.

The Bulldogs gave a large home crowd plenty to celebrate, putting points on the board while keeping Belton out of the end zone from the opening kickoff to the final whistle.

But Friday night was about much more than the scoreboard.

Bulldog Stadium was packed with the sights and sounds that make a Kearney Friday night special. Our cheerleaders welcomed the team onto the field and kept the crowd going throughout the game. The Golden Girls and Bulldog Band brought their talents to the field. The student section was loud, colorful and fully invested. And families, alumni and community members filled the stands to support our students on a beautiful late-summer evening.

It was an outstanding night for our student-athletes and performers and a terrific reminder of the community that surrounds them.

Congratulations to our Bulldogs on starting the season 1-0, and thank you to everyone who helped make the first Friday night at Bulldog Stadium one to remember!

Go Bulldogs!

Great Schools = Great Community.
