Kings River & Taft High Schools

Message from the Principal

Welcome to the Education Center website, Home of the Monarchs. Here in Monarch Land we are committed to bringing academic excellence to all students. Our administrative staff, counselors, teachers, office, security and grounds are all dedicated to ensuring that all of our students receive the best and highest academic education through the use of technology, State Standards, and Curriculum development using EDI (explicit direct instruction).


Our Mission is to maximize every student's potential by teaching them to be productive citizens, life long learners, and persons of character. I would like to say that we are very proud of our hard work last year in getting Kings River High School Accredited for the first time. What this means is that Kings River High School is recognized by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) as a 6 year accredited school. This allows our students to transfer their credits to a University. Everyone has worked very hard in achieving this goal and I am very proud and excited for the success of our students future.




I am very fortunate to lead a group of individuals that take what they do on a daily basis very seriously and compassionately for the welfare of your child.

Thank you for all you do.

Rick Church
Principal of the Education Center
