(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - KHS...the BEST school in Kearny. This was the first time EVER I actaully enjoyed school. I was a 1999 graduate (with honors) and I can say they probably have one of the BEST music departments ever. Hands down Mr. Byrne, the best Chorus teacher. Mrs. Hacker hands down the best Math/Algebra teacher. I would pay a million dollars (If I had it) to go back to say 1998 again for even just a month.
