Partnership with Businesses

Karns High School is excited to announce the opportunity for businesses to advertise their company while supporting their community school at the same time. At Karns High School, we know that strong support by families and businesses brings our community closer together. We look forward to working collaboratively to ensure our students’ educational achievements.


We are selling Business Banners which we will be proudly displayed along the fence at our main entrance. This is a great way to advertise your business and to let the community know that you proudly support our Karns High School!


The banners will be sold in two different sizes. The 4’ x 4’ will be $500, and the 4’ x 8’ banner will be $1000. Each banner will be displayed for a full calendar year. Your donation is 100% tax deductible, and all funds raised will support Karns High School.
