Message from John Campbell

The reason public education exists is to prepare students to take their places in society, as competent, productive members. As trustees of that worthy goal, educators strive to produce excellence in every student's academic life. New emphasis from state and federal government has not changed that original goal. Instead, it has sharpened our focus on the need to make sure everything we teach, everything we spend, and everything we model, leads to improved student achievement....

Lincoln Elementary Named 2025 California Distinguished School

Celebrations

Kings Canyon Unified School District is proud to announce that Lincoln Elementary School in Reedley has been named a 2025 California Distinguished School, one of the state’s most prestigious honors recognizing excellence in academic achievement and closing achievement gaps.

This recognition is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of Lincoln’s students, staff, and community. While a large majority of Lincoln students come from historically underserved backgrounds, the school has made remarkable academic gains.

Over the past several years, administrators and staff at Lincoln Elementary have worked collaboratively to make sure all students succeed, creating a culture of high expectations that have driven steady improvements. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the school’s academic scores have surged:

“Being named a California Distinguished School is more than an award—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when we believe in every child’s potential,” said Lincoln Elementary Principal Anita Elizondo. “Our Panthers have proven that the sky's the limit!”

“Although Lincoln is the school being recognized by the state, they are indicative of the hard work going on at all of our KCUSD elementary schools,” said Superintendent John Campbell. “Congratulations to Lincoln students and staff!”

Lincoln Elementary’s recognition is a celebration of perseverance and excellence—and a shining example of the Kings Canyon Unified School District’s commitment to empowering all learners to succeed.
