The Kern High School district received At-Home Rapid Antigen COVID test kits from the State of California to provide to students. Each test kit contains two tests for students to use at home. These tests are designed to help slow the spread of COVID-19 after the holiday break.

As winter break comes to a close and we start school on January 3, here are a few reminders

The Kern High School District COVID Safety page includes the COVID-19 Safety Plan, Daily Health Screening Tool, Kern Medical pop-up vaccine clinic calendar, and the COVID-19 Dashboard, updated weekly.

The Kern High School District (KHSD) will provide the option for all KHSD students to receive free school meals beginning in the 2021-2022 school year under the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs.

Independent Study (Kern Learn Extension). The parents and/or guardians of all Kern High School District students have the option to enroll their student in in-person instruction or independent study during the 2021–22 school year. For students whose health would be put at risk by in-person instruction (as determined by the parent/guardian), the Kern Learn Extension program is the independent study option for the 2021-2022 school year.

The Kern High School District is excited to partner with the Kern County Superintendent of Schools and local businesses for Career Awareness Month for an interactive and virtual experience. It is an opportunity for students, parents, and community members to connect with business leaders, explore career paths, and receive more information about the offered career tech programs.
