The Kern High School District (KHSD) recently announced the groundbreaking of the Highland High School Aquatic Center. This state-of-the-art facility will be located east of the football stadium and north of the tennis courts. It will feature a 50-meter pool and facility designed to support local and regional competitive swimming, diving, and water polo events and programs. Beyond athletics, the aquatic center will serve as an asset to the community by offering swim lesson and schedule civic use, promoting a culture of community engagement, health, and fitness.

The Highland Aquatic Center is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2024. It will be the second aquatic facility in the KHSD following the opening of the Kern Aquatic Complex near Independence High School in 2020. This project has been made possible by the generosity of the 661 Foundation and Measure E, a general obligation bond approved by Kern County voters in 2022.
