KIND (Kearney Inclusion and Diversity) club is one of many opportunities for Kearney High School students to get involved in their school community. KIND was established to create a safe space for students to address issues of diversity and belonging, in order to make the KHS community a more welcoming and inclusive environment. Our door is always open to new faces!

We watched "Rising Phoenix", a Netflix original documentary (PG-13) in December. In an effort to further our goal of diversity, equity, and inclusion we watched elite athletes and insiders reflect on the Paralympic Games and examined how they impact a global understanding of disability, diversity, and excellence.
In connection to our movie night, we teamed up with Student Council to promote a fundraiser for the Kearney Special Olympics teams at the Basketball Jam.
