    For parents, the message is equally compelling. At DUSD, it’s clear that every learner is part of a family. "We will never give up on your child. We partner with you to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed," says Rivera. "Our district offers not just academic excellence but a nurturing, loving environment—a rare combination." We’re a progressive and innovative learning community where students recognize and develop their talents and give their personal best each day. Our efforts are collectively centered on one key commitment—"Promise 180: Every School Day Counts.” Excellence is achieved by caring for each student and staff member individually, fostering an enthusiastic and energetic family-focused environment where students can maximize their full potential.

    Educator of the Year: Yazmin Herrera

    Educator of the Year: Yazmin Herrera spins 'magic' in her 6th special education classroom to create results. When Yazmin Herrera walks into her 6th grade Almond Tree Middle School classroom, she enchants her students with her 11 years of experience as an educator into “magic." Forging connections with parents, the school’s administration and her special education students created trust throughout her career that she now casts as magic when teaching, Herrera said. Her charms caught the eye of a Kern County Superintendent of Schools committee which named her a teacher of the year, the highest honor bestowed annually upon three local educators. Passionate about education, Herrera described the honor as an incredible feeling. By ISHANI DESAI idesai@bakersfield.com Jul 16, 2023
