Project 2000

With more than $1.5 million in Foundation funding, Project 2000 provided 1,800 so-called "average" students at four KHSD campuses more teachers, smaller class sizes, higher academic standards and more technology throughout their years in high school.
The brainchild of Bakersfield businessman Jim Burke and retired Kern High School District Superintendent Don Murfin, Project 2000 yielded dramatic results including:

Significantly lower dropout rates
Higher completion of University of California admission requirements
Increased enrollment in Honors classes
Greater proficiency with technology
Higher enrollment in college preparatory courses
Greater plans for attending college
Higher grade point averages

	Average G.P.A	4.0 and higher G.P.A
