Principal's Message

Welcome to Bakersfield Public School!

At Bakersfield, we believe that a school is much more than a place where students learn—it is the heart and hub of the community. We are committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every student, family, and staff member feels valued, respected, and truly belongs. We want Bakersfield to be a place where everyone knows they are an important part of our school family and where every voice matters.

Our work is grounded in a commitment to student achievement, well-being, and inclusion. We strive to provide every student with meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, discover their strengths, and reach their full potential. Just as importantly, we want our students to feel safe, supported, connected, and confident as they navigate their school journey. We believe that when students feel a strong sense of belonging, they are better positioned to learn, take risks, build relationships, and succeed.

We are incredibly proud of the work happening at Bakersfield each and every day. Our students, staff, families, and community partners contribute to a culture built on kindness, inclusion, perseverance, and caring for one another. We believe that every small act can make a big difference, and together, we are helping our students become compassionate, confident, and engaged difference makers.

Thank you for being part of the Bakersfield family. We look forward to working together to make our school a place where everyone belongs, everyone can achieve, and everyone can make a difference.

Be Kind, Be Proud, Be Bakersfield!
