Kimberly High School's football team has back-to-back WIAA Division 2 state titles (2007–2008), another WIAA Division 2 state title in 2013, and back-to-back-to-back-to-back WIAA Division 1 state titles (2014-2017). With 5 consecutive state titles and a 70-game winning streak, Kimberly held the longest active streak in high school football nationally [2] until August 17, 2018 when the streak was snapped in a 31-28 home loss to the Fond du Lac Cardinals. [3] In 2017, Camp Randall started a "Camp Randall 100" campaign, celebrating 100 years of the stadium. They selected 100 influential people in the stadium's history. Blair Mulholland, Kimberly running back, was named to the list, for his 464 yard, 4 touchdown game in the 2015 Wisconsin State Division 1 Football Championship.
The school's mascot is the paper wasp. The "Papermaker" wasp logo was created by Jim Nirschl, a longtime Kimberly High School art teacher, coach and athletic director.[citation needed]
