The Delano Joint Union High School District proudly celebrated excellence in education at the Education Champions of the Year Celebration held on Thursday, May 7, at the Bell Tower in Bakersfield.

The Delano High School Drama Club delivered a wonderful performance of Into the Woods Jr. last Friday, May 8, showcasing the creativity, dedication, and talent of our students.

The production brought together student actors and crew members who worked collaboratively to bring this classic musical to life. From engaging performances to strong stage presence, the show reflected the hard work and commitment of everyone involved.

The District proudly celebrates the accomplishments of its Early College students, who were recently recognized at multiple Bakersfield College events highlighting their academic excellence and dedication.

At DJUHS, we're proud to have a team of dedicated individuals who make a difference every day in the lives of our students.  Staff Appreciation Week is our chance to recognize the hard work and commitment of our teachers, support staff, administrators, and everyone who contributes to our school community.

Thank you to our entire team for your passion and dedication.  You make DJUHSD a place where every student can thrive!

The District proudly recognizes the dedicated dual enrollment teachers who play an essential role in supporting Early College student achievement at DJUHSD.

Through their expertise and commitment, these educators provide students with the opportunity to earn college credit and work toward an associate degree while still in high school. Their efforts help expand access to higher education and prepare students for long-term academic and career success.

We want to take a moment to honor the educators who inspire, motivate, and shape the future of our students.  At DJUHSD, we are incredibly grateful for the dedication, creativity, and care our teachers bring to the classroom every day.
