Miss Fashionetta

African American Graduation Awards
Annual Graduation Awards Ceremony to reach out to Kern County African American students preparing to further their education.
Middle school principals and counselors submit to our chapter the names of African American honor roll students that are presented with a certificate of academic excellence and applauded for their outstanding achievement.
The annual scholarship application is available online at the chapter’s website. Scholarship winners are recognized at the Annual African American Graduation Awards Program.
Project Next Step
Project Next Step Conference (PNSC) is held in August, just prior to the beginning of the school year. PNSC includes over 800 junior/middle school honor roll 8th grade graduates from Kern County who are transitioning to the schools in KHSD. Prior to PNSC in 2017, 67.7% of the 2015 graduates maintained high school honor roll status in high school college prep classes; 57.7% of the 2016 graduates maintained high school honor roll status in high school college prep classes. Our goal is to increase the percentage to over 70% of the 2017 students to maintain high school honor roll status in high school college prep classes while on the pathway to complete college requirements upon graduation. We have seen measurable success and we are now seeking to expand the program to support the students’ academic achievement and increase the parents’ involvement in their students’ goals.
#CAP Program (College Admission Process)
#CAP is a signature program focusing on assisting high school students (grades 11th and 12th) with navigating the college admission process via workshops for students and parents.
