We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Some of the teachers actually care but a bunch of them don't. There is a huge lack of resources and parent involvement compared to the East side of the district and it feels very unsafe and it feels like most of the students don't care and want to drop out.

It's a good school but it has its ups and downs like most school's but the faculty really cares about us students and they want to see us succeed in school and outside of school and the teachers will always make sure that you have what you need and make sure us students are ready to be there and feel safe and welcomed the only negative thing about kearns is just when the gangs start clashing with each other.

Overall I enjoyed being a part of this school, this school has such a good spirit compared to many other schools around and that is my favorite thing about it. I am glad for the friendships I made and continued, going to the school events and sports, and having classes I look forward to attending.

Kearns High is a very welcoming school. The teachers are very kind and it's hard to dislike them. Many of the teachers actually went to Kearns High then came back to teach there! We have several clubs that are inclusive to everyone, several sports to enjoy, and we're one of the only high schools in...
