Kearney High School students put their workplace readiness skills to the test and earned outstanding results during the Kansas City area Job Olympics competition on April 11 at Liberty High School!

Fourteen Bulldogs participated in the event, which gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities through real job tasks and mock interviews. Job Olympics helps students practice the professionalism, communication and practical skills that are so important for success in the workplace.

Our students have been building those skills throughout the year, and their hard work showed. Seven Bulldogs earned the opportunity to compete at the state level on May 12 in Columbia:

• Amber Leath: Animal Pet Care
• Raymond Cochran: Bagging Groceries
• Ayden McClary: Custodial Skills
• Gavin Null: First Aid Packaging
• Haydon Parton: Movie Hosting
• Lydia Bobadilla-Torres: Interview
• Brody Shipers: Table Bussing
• 
  

The KHS team also brought home third-place honors in Division II for small schools.

Congratulations to these hardworking Bulldogs and the educators who helped prepare them for this outstanding achievement! We are so proud of the way they represented Kearney School District!
