The best part about going to Kern Valley High School was having a fresh start being able to meet new people, joining new sports, being apart of school activities and the worst part would have to be leaving it all, all the memories I made just so that I can graduate on stage and become a young adult.

It has a very small atmosphere that most everyone enjoys. It is always a good place to be and hangout. The teachers are always there to support and help you through and with anything. They are your number one supporters and you can go to them for anything. It being a small school you are always able to get hep with anything you need from anyone.
