Established in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa has a presence on almost 1,300 community college campuses in 11 nations. Building on the success of the national All-USA Team Program, PTK launched the All-State Academic Team Program. The purpose of this program is to provide recognition at the state level for these top community college students. Grades, leadership, and community service determine selection to the All-California First, Second and Third Teams. Students have undoubtedly faced many additional and unprecedented challenges over the last two years, so the 2022 winners should be exceptionally proud of their achievements during these difficult times. “Given that there are 1.8 million students attending California Community Colleges, it is a tremendous honor that four of our students are among the 114 All-California Award winners,” said Kindred Murillo, Interim Superintendent/President of Santa Barbara City College. “This statewide award honors some of the best and brightest students in the state. John, Carie, Nicole and Olivia are certainly that.” |
