Education is a cornerstone in
Kearney's solid foundation. A community
of life-long learners, over
23% have graduated from college;
and, the four year high school
graduation rate exceeds 92%.
Parents find comfort in a public
education system that provides
award winning results in a safe,
nurturing environment while private
schools offer a variety of
choices in elementary through high
school programs. Post secondary
programs are available at the
University of Nebraska at Kearney
and specialized courses are offered
by Central Community College.
Education is at the top of Kearney's
priority list, and has been since the
villiage blacksmith defined the limits
of technology. Area public and private
schools take pride in their record of
producing high achieving student and
innovative Technology labs, Tech-Prep
and College-Prep curriculums provide
stimulating activities for all
students.
Telecommunications further enriches the classrom
experience by expanding the choice of subjects
through distance learning, and connecting distant
classrooms with 2-way video feeds for joint projects.
Teachers routinely use the Internet to introduce
students to a world outside of the classroom, like the
National Archives, NASA, or the National Art Collection.
