About Taft College


Taft College was established on August 30, 1922 as part of the Taft Union High School District. Classes were first held on the high school campus. The school title officially became Taft College on July 1, 1954, and in September of 1956 a separate campus opened in the current location at 29 Cougar Court adjacent to the high school. The West Kern Community College District was later formed, and is a single-college-district under the guidance of a five-member Board of Trustees. With strong leadership, Taft College offers you an opportunity to be a part of an organization that truly believes in its mission of promoting student success. Student Success starts with a team of dedicated professionals with a common focus–the student. We strive to provide a culturally diverse environment that focuses on both individual development and team growth. We are here for you!
