KEARNEY — The Kearney Public Schools Board of Education accepted the resignation of Jeff Ganz, Kearney High School principal, during their board meeting on Monday, March 9.
Ganz submitted his resignation after Kearney Public Schools announced a leadership transition at KHS and Horizon Middle School.
In a press release from Feb. 17, it was announced that Amber Lewis, the current principal at Horizon Middle School would become the next KHS principal.
Ganz was set to transition to an assistant principal role at Horizon Middle School.
Jason Mundorf, superintendent of Kearney Public School, said in the February release, “Jeff Ganz has a unique ability to connect with students and support them during critical points in their educational journey. Moving Jeff to Horizon Middle School allows us to leverage his strengths where they are most needed, working closely with students, supporting staff, and helping guide young learners through an important and formative stage of development.”
Ganz has served as the KHS principal for the past five years. His resignation was effective at the end of the 2025-26 school year.
