Taft City School District

Taft City School District is a public school district headquartered in Taft, California, serving pupils from Kindergarten through Grade 8. It was established in 1909,^[2] when local residents established a small city school system to meet the educational needs of children in the growing oil town. By 1932, the Conley School District was formally converted into what became known as the Taft City School District, a name it has retained since then.^[3]
