Office of the Superintendent

Welcome to the Kern High School District!  We firmly believe that our foundation, as exemplified by our district’s priorities, guides our efforts to enhance our schools and reinforces the collective responsibility that makes our daily work so vital.

Collectively, we believe in guiding principals that lie at the heart of our mission.   Students are at the center of all we do, and our practices are designed with their best interests in mind.  We have faith in our students, staff, faculty, administration, Board of Trustees, parents, and community to successfully reach our goals.  We are dedicated to ensuring student learning, fostering a culture of collaboration, and maintaining a focus on results.  We understand the vital role schools play in shaping the future success of students and our community.  By partnering with other community members, the district can provide the best educational experience for all students.

When we combine our individual strengths, unite toward common goals, and collaborate effectively, we all share in the success of our students. Our shared commitment will sustain the effort and energy required for this important work.

Each school day, we want our parents and community to know that students in the Kern High School District enter an environment that is both nurturing and challenging, where they will be pushed to reach their full potential, and where safety is a top priority.  We are dedicated to our fundamental mission: To do whatever it takes to ensure high levels of learning, raise expectations, and prepare all students for the challenges that await them.  We do this work in support of the dreams of the students who have been entrusted to us.
