The mission of the Kern High School District GATE program is
to provide appropriate educational opportunities that challenge our brightest
students. These students come from a
variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds as well as prior educational
settings.
The program reflects our concern for divergent thinkers. The first two years of our rigorous
curriculum focus on flexible and responsive student inquiry and discovery
learning. Additionally, we place an
emphasis on creativity through cultural, fine arts, and enrichment activities.
Our commitment includes
instruction toward successful citizenship, high ethical standards, and personal
development.
