The Kearny Esports Mario Kart team, Kardinal Kingdom, competed in the GSES State Championship on May 16. Their path to the tournament was a significant journey that began in the Winter Contenders league before they moved on to compete in the Spring Championship League. Despite being one of the final seeded teams to qualify, Kearny successfully made it to the big stage!
While our team did not move past the opening round, the championship provided an incredible experience for the students. They participated in pickup matches, watched high-level high school and collegiate competition, and connected with college recruiters. The students also particularly enjoyed the Comic section, where it seemed nearly everyone found something to take home.
With such a young and talented roster, Kearny is just getting started—we will definitely be back!

On Thursday, May 7, 2026, the Kearny School District proudly hosted its Annual Art Show in the Kearny High School Atrium, celebrating the creativity and artistic achievements of students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The exhibit featured outstanding artwork from students representing Washington School, Franklin School, Garfield School, Schuyler School, Roosevelt School, Lincoln Middle School, and Kearny High School.
Art teachers from across the district carefully selected works to be showcased, with students recognized through First, Second, and Third Place awards at each school level, as well as prestigious Best in Show honors for Elementary, Middle, and High School divisions.
Guests enjoyed a wonderful evening filled with art, community, and refreshments thanks to the Mrs. Barrone & KHS Culinary Arts Department, which prepared a delicious assortment of savory and sweet treats. Special thanks also go to the custodial staff for their assistance with transporting boards and tables and helping the event run smoothly.
The Visual Arts Department and Mrs. Kathleen Astrella extend heartfelt appreciation to the district’s dedicated art educators — Mr. Neto, Ms. Donnelly, Mr. Costello, Ms. Swiontkowski, Ms. DiGangi, Ms. Alicea, Mr. McShane, Ms. Morrison, and Mr. Merlo — for the countless hours they devoted to setting up the show, selecting artwork, and inspiring so many talented young artists throughout the year. Their passion, creativity, and commitment were clearly reflected in the exceptional work displayed throughout the evening.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this year’s event. Your continued support of the arts helps showcase and celebrate the incredible talents, hard work, and creativity of our students. Mark your calendars for next year: May 6 at 7:00PM in the atrium at KHS!
Please see the list of ribbon winners attached. These pieces of artwork will be displayed at the Kearny Library from May 27–June 5. Unfortunately, the Optimist Club will not be sponsoring the exhibit this year, so there will be no additional prizes awarded.
Josh and I would like to continue this tradition each year, as it provides a wonderful community connection for our students and gives them another opportunity to have their artwork recognized and celebrated publicly.
Thank you very much,

Special thanks also go to the custodial staff for their assistance with transporting boards and tables and helping the event run smoothly.
The Visual Arts Department and Mrs. Kathleen Astrella extend heartfelt appreciation to the district’s dedicated art educators — Mr. Neto, Ms. Donnelly, Mr. Costello, Ms. Swiontkowski, Ms. DiGangi, Ms. Alicea, Mr. McShane, Ms. Morrison, and Mr. Merlo — for the countless hours they devoted to setting up the show, selecting artwork, and inspiring so many talented young artists throughout the year. Their passion, creativity, and commitment were clearly reflected in the exceptional work displayed throughout the evening.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this year’s event. Your continued support of the arts helps showcase and celebrate the incredible talents, hard work, and creativity of our students. Mark your calendars for next year: May 6 at 7:00PM in the atrium at KHS!
Please see the list of ribbon winners attached. These pieces of artwork will be displayed at the Kearny Library from May 27–June 5. Unfortunately, the Optimist Club will not be sponsoring the exhibit this year, so there will be no additional prizes awarded.
Josh and I would like to continue this tradition each year, as it provides a wonderful community connection for our students and gives them another opportunity to have their artwork recognized and celebrated publicly.
Thank you very much,
Kathleen A. Astrella
District Supervisor of Visual & Performing Arts
