Background

[edit]

Kearney Catholic High School was founded in 1961, as the first Catholic high school in Kearney.[3] The school was dedicated by Bishop John Paschang on October 18, 1961, at first offering grades 7–10. A grade was added each year following, with the first graduating class of 1964 consisting of 22 students. The school now offers classes in grades 6 to 12 and is a member of the Centennial Conference after leaving the Louplatte Conference in 2018. The school is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[4]
