Kearns High School

Kearns High School is a public high school located at 5525 S. Cougar Lane (4800 W.) Kearns, Utah, United States. It was opened in 1966 with its first graduating class graduating in 1967. It serves 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. The official mascot is a Cougar and the school colors are green and gold. Starting with the 2014–2015 school year, the school now serves 9th grade. At the 2021 graduation ceremony, Kearns High School officials withheld a student's diploma and subsequently charged her $5,000 because a guest popped confetti in celebration when the student's name was called.

For the 2010–11 school year, Kearns High School used the Initiative with money from a federal stimulus Enhancing Education Through Technology grant. The media specialist, Rachel Murphy, wrote the grant to start the program. The program began on November 5, 2010, and had each student use an iPod Touch to keep track of assignments, take notes, learn different languages, and do research. Kearns High School was the first school of its size to use the Initiative.
