• History & Memorable Moments

Construction began on the present school facility began in 1921. Kearny High School opened for the fall semester in September 1923. The school's stadium was completed in 1925. In 1940, an addition costing $400,000 was added. In 1974, another addition was added that cost $5 million dollars, providing a new Music and Art Department, three gymnasiums, locker rooms, classrooms and parking. The school is divided into two different buildings that are connected to each other.^[1]

The Kearny High School Marching Unit has enjoyed several years of great success in the past. Most notably, they were Tournament Of Band Class III Atlantic Coast champions in 1985, and their percussion section won High Percussion honors for three years straight, from '83 to '85. In addition the Kearny High School Marching Unit was group 3A USSBA Champions two years in a row in 1999 and 2000. In 2003, the field was under construction. This was devastating to the marching band, and the winning streak was lost. The Kearny High School Marching Unit is currently a Group 4A marching band as of the fall of 2007.^[1]
