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.

Kings Canyon Unified School District Named a Model PLC District
Celebrations
Kings Canyon Unified School District has been designated a Model PLC District at Work®, recognizing the district’s strong system of teacher collaboration focused on improving student learning. KCUSD is one of only five districts in California to receive this honor, placing it among a small group recognized statewide for using shared planning, common assessments, and regular review of student data to guide instruction and provide timely support for students who need it. In addition, Grant Middle School has also been recognized as a Model PLC at Work® school site, highlighting the district’s success both systemwide and at the school level.
The designation is reinforced by KCUSD’s most recent state and regional assessment results, which show the district outperforming most Central Valley districts in overall English Language Arts and Math scores and leading the region in year-over-year growth. KCUSD’s academic gains continue to exceed county and statewide averages, highlighting the impact of clear learning goals, consistent instruction, and targeted intervention and enrichment for students.
“Being named a Model PLC District at Work® affirms the collaborative work happening across our schools every day,” said Superintendent John Campbell. “Our teams focus on what students need to learn, how we know when they’ve learned it, and how we respond when they need more support or greater challenge.”
