Welcome to the Kimberly Area School District!

The Kimberly Area School District is a public school district with a proud tradition of EXCELLENCE in academics, the arts, and co-curricular programs. We are committed to providing the highest quality education for every student. 

Our mission of EXCELLENCE is a shared effort. From the Board of Education to our dedicated educators, supportive families, engaged community members, and hardworking students, we work together to create an environment where all children are empowered to reach their full potential.

Two key drivers of our academic success stand out. First, we are fortunate to have exceptional educators who are passionate about learning and continuously refining their instructional practices to meet students’ evolving needs. Second, we benefit from a community that actively supports and advocates for student achievement. This collective effort is the source of our Papermaker Pride and one reason we are recognized as one of the top-performing districts in the region and the state.

Our classrooms are designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning. Supported by a strong foundation of shared values—kindness, honesty, respect, and responsibility—and essential life skills: a growth mindset, perseverance, conflict resolution, communication, and time management.

Through this well-rounded approach, we prepare our students not only to succeed academically but also to thrive as capable, compassionate, and responsible citizens.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns that you may have about the school district or community.

Sincerely, 

Holly Prast, Ph.D.
Superintendent
