Kern County Purpose Awards celebrate teachers, students and others at Thursday night gala | News

Kern County Superintendent of Schools John Mendiburu hosted the inaugural Kern County Purpose Awards on Thursday night by recognizing 11 individuals and teams whose work Mendiburu said is making a meaningful difference for students, schools and communities across Kern County.

Created from Mendiburu’s vision to recognize people and programs bringing KCSOS’ Purpose Statement to life, the awards centered on three key commitments — growth, engagement and support.
