Kirby offers two basic academic programs: the Standard Program and the Honors Program. To take courses in the latter program, students must achieve certain scores on standardized tests, maintain certain grades, and meet certain course requirements.
There are four communities or academies at the "New" Kirby High School: 9th Grade, SEA (Science Engineering and Agriculture), BHS (Business and Human Services), and AIM (Arts Information and Multimedia). All students start off in the 9th Grade Academy, but join the other academies based on their own personal interest and remain in them until they graduate.
Kirby High School offers a variety of sports: baseball, basketball, bowling, football, cheerleading, softball, track and field, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, and dance.
