Kimball High School started an Interact Club in January 2012 and is now in the 9th year as an organization. Interact comes from combining the words "International" and "Action" and is sponsored by the local Rotary Club of Kimball.
It is a service organization where the student members participate in at least one local service project, one school project, and one international project annually.
The members meet two times per month and at this time the club has over 20 student members.
The club raises money by selling concession at home junior high sporting events and the money goes towards three scholarships and various service projects.
