Kirksville R-III will be CLOSED on Friday, January 23, 2026. It is a regular inclement weather day--not an AMI day.
Kirksville Schools are proud to announce two familiar Kirksville faces to coaching positions for the fall 2024 season!
Retiring Truman State University head football coach, Gregg Nesbitt, has been named our new head football coach at KHS. Coach Nesbitt has an impressive record of experience in high school and college football. He brings with him an abundance of knowledge. His coaching career spans 44 years, including state high school championships, and the last 14 seasons at TSU.
Kirksville High School alumna and Clinton, MO head coach, Sydney Snyder, has been named the new head softball coach for KHS. Coach Snyder is currently head softball coach and PE teacher at Clinton High School. She graduated from KHS in 2015; she went on to play softball at John Wood Community College before finishing her degree at Truman State.
We are proud to have both coaches switching to orange and black this fall. #kvtigers #kvproud #welovekirksville
This Roar of Applause goes to Brad Hudson! He is a band teacher at WMMS and KHS. Thank you Mr. Hudson for always being there for our students and for our community overall! Join us in congratulating Brad for this "ROAR!" 🎉🐅 #kvtigers #kvproud #welovekirksville
Kirksville R-III Schools will be running a 2-hour late start this morning, 2/28/24, due to icy road conditions. Refer to our inclement weather page for details on 2-hour late starts at: https://www.kirksville.k12.mo.us/page/inclement-weather

We never know what Missouri winter has planned for us, but our school year calendar accounts for this. May includes make up days labeled "MU." So far, we only have four hours to make up! That will put us into May 23rd. Stay tuned for surprises!
Thank you to all of our school counselors for being student-focused!
Reminder that we are back on regular bus routes beginning tomorrow, Monday, 2/5/24. *All of our families on secondary roads breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.* Thank you for your understanding! Remember to lookout for school buses making frequent stops everywhere you go.
