KHS Yearbook Earns All-Missouri Honors

Congratulations to the 2025-2026 Kearney High School yearbook staff for earning an outstanding All-Missouri rating from the Missouri Interscholastic Journalism Association!

The students earned an incredible 494 out of 500 possible points in the association’s overall yearbook critique. Their work received perfect scores in writing and editing, design and photography, along with 99 out of 100 points for theme/concept/services and 95 out of 100 for coverage.

The All-Missouri designation is the highest rating awarded through the critique process, and this marks the first time a KHS yearbook has earned the honor since the 2021-2022 school year.

Producing a yearbook requires months of reporting, writing, editing, photography, design and careful attention to detail. This recognition reflects the talent, creativity and hard work of our student journalists and the guidance of KHS Publications/Broadcasting Teacher Jackie Uptegrove. Congratulations to the entire yearbook staff on this tremendous achievement!

Go Bulldogs!
