I feel that my school did a great job of preparing me for college. I made so many life long friends there, as well as met so many great teachers and staff. If anyone is looking for a great high school, I would definitely recommend Kearsley. As someone who went to Richfield Public School Academy prior to moving into the Kearsley school district, I had very low hopes going in. However, it was a great experience, and I am forever glad I was able to attend Kearsley High School.
