Kearns High School is a public high school located at 5525 S. Cougar Lane (4800 W.) Kearns, Utah, United States. It was opened in 1966 with its first graduating class graduating in 1967.[3] It serves 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. The official mascot is a Cougar and the school colors are green and gold. Starting with the 2014–2015 school year, the school now serves 9th grade.[4] At the 2021 graduation ceremony, Kearns High School officials withheld a student's diploma and subsequently charged her $5,000 because a guest popped confetti in celebration when the student's name was called.
