Dear Kimball Public Schools Community,
This letter is in reference to a possible threat to the campus received on the evening of September 1, 2026 resulting in an increased law enforcement presence at district facilities today (September 2, 2026). Last evening, Kimball Public Schools was made aware of a possible threat to the safety of our students. School administration and local law enforcement agencies have been working swiftly and diligently to investigate the matter and substantiate the allegations. Today, students, staff, and patrons will notice an increased law enforcement presence at district facilities as we want to continue to provide a safe and secure learning environment for our students.
The safety and security of our students and staff is and will continue to be our main priority. As we move forward, we are encouraging parents and students to report any information and provide any evidence to school administration of any potential threats to the safety of our students and staff. Any information that we receive will prove helpful as we strive to maintain a secure campus. We encourage the continued collaboration between Kimball Public Schools, the Kimball Police Department, the Kimball County Sheriff’s Office, and the community.
Kimball Public Schools administration can be reached by contacting the Mary Lynch office at (308)235-4696 / the Jr/Sr High office at (308)235-4861 or you may report to our anonymous tip-line at 833-980-7233.

Any 5th graders interested in joining band need to come with a parent or guardian to see which instrument will suit them best, get a lesson book, and officially sign up for Band!

The Longhorn football team travelled to Gordon for a HOT early kickoff and comes a way with a convincing 52-24 W thanks to a dominant 2nd half that saw them outscore the mustangs 36-8! The team starts the season 1-0 and will be in action again next Friday for the home opener against Perkins County at 6 PM. Good luck! #LonghornPride
Our first community service project of the year is underway this morning! 🎨
We’re working to paint over the graffiti on the underpass north of town and help make our community a little better than we found it.
This is what the Longhorn Way looks like beyond the walls of our school—taking pride in our community, giving back, and making a positive difference.
A big thank you to the City of Kimball and Union Pacific for partnering with us and providing opportunities for our students to serve their community.
🤘 Own Your Path. Make a Difference. #LonghornPride

It was a great day to be a Longhorn! ❤️🤍
We had our first XC meet of the season today at the Panhandle Classic in Scottsbluff! It was a little warm out there, but our kids battled through it and ran great! 🏃♂️
👏 Jax Toth ran a 22:40 to place 6th in the JV race!
👏 Kaymen Lusche ran an impressive 18:55 to finish 10th for varsity!
👏 Trajan Johnson ran a 19:38, finishing just one place out of a medal in the varsity race!
The best part of cross country is watching these kids grow, improve, and get stronger week after week. Today was just the beginning, and we can't wait to see what this group accomplishes! 💪🏃♂️
Keep putting in the work, Longhorns! ❤️🤍
Today, our top-notch Kindergarteners completed an important mission…Kindergarten Bootcamp! ✔️ We have spent time each day learning all about their school supplies! ✏️✂️🌀🖍️ They have learned what each supply is called, how to use it, and how to take care of their supplies! We are proud to announce that they are all officially certified and ready to rock Kindergarten! 👏🏼 Great job, Kindergarten Cadets! 🫡 💚
Kindergarten is movin' and groovin', getting into a routine! 🤘🏼 We wanted to take a minute though, and share our fun memories from the First Day of School! ✨
A big THANK YOU to Shavonne & Aubrey from Dirty Lil Swigs for serving up the delicious lemonade 🍋, Taylor & Katie with Brown Bear Bouncers for the awesome bounce houses 🐻, Jay with 104.3 KIMB for keeping the music going 🎶, Kimball H.E.L.P.S., and the KEA for your time and donations! Thank you for all you do to make our kids, school, and community feel so special!
Here’s to a GREAT year ahead! ❤️🤍🖤
Mary Lynch has SPARKed the culture of reading for the 2026 - 2027 school year! Help us achieve Trailblazer status by tracking how many minutes your students read at home and logging them in the Beanstack app. Our schoolwide goal is 750,000 minutes read and logged this school year.
