Fresno County Superintendent of Schools is helping rural districts meet the needs of the whole child through the Community Schools Consortium. From on-site health clinics and food pantries to internships and expanded learning, Community Schools go beyond academics to provide critical services for students and families. Learn how districts like Washington Union and others are partnering with FCSS to expand opportunities, engage parents, and strengthen communities.

Fresno Pacific University is celebrating a historic moment with a record-setting $21.9 million gift from the King J. Richter family — the largest in school history. This endowment will provide scholarships for students now and for generations to come, helping first-generation and low-income students achieve their dreams of higher education.

FPU President Dr. André Stephens shares how this gift, combined with a 5-star rating from Money Magazine’s 2025 Best Colleges list, highlights Fresno Pacific’s commitment to affordability, student success, and faith-based education.

Students across Fresno County are using their creativity to honor the spirit of unity that followed September 11 through the annual Spirit of 9/12 Art and Poetry Contest, hosted by the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools and the 9/11 Memorial.
