Kirksville is a public high school located in Kirksville, Missouri. The school historically competed in MSHSAA Class 4, but was moved to Class 5 after the 2021 realignment.

The school has advanced to several MSHSAA State tournaments, placing second in Class 4 in 1997 and 2008 and winning its first state title in Class 4 in 2010.

Kirksville was registered to attend the 2010 and 2014 NAQT Missouri Qualifiers but in both cases was forced to drop the day before due to forecasted winter weather. Kirksville was finally able to attend its first NAQT Missouri Qualifier in 2024 after their conference tournament was moved to the previous weekend.

Kirksville emerged as a state powerhouse from around 2019 to 2021. Led by Fred Garvey and Donal Ryan, the team won or came close to winning many tournaments with statewide fields. The team placed 3rd at the 2021 MSHSAA State Championship after a close loss to Ladue in the semifinals.

Kirksville hosted its first Kirksville Tournament on the Minnesota Novice set on February 18, 2012 and served as the Northeast host of the MOQBA Winter Invitational in 2013 and 2014. Both of these tournaments were directed by assistant coach Jacob O'Rourke, who helped coach the team during his last two years of undergrad.
