"We Engage, Challenge, and Support Every Student, Every Day"
Principal's Message                                                           April 5, 2019

AzMERIT testing is off and running and we had a great week of testing. This week the exam focused on writing, while next week the focus will shift to reading. Our testing schedule each day follows periods 1-3, and each student will only complete one subject area per week. Next week's schedule is posted below, and if you have any questions, please give us a call. 

Our accreditation visit went extremely well and I can't thank our students, teachers, and community enough for participating in the surveys and making the visit a success. The visit from AdvancEd ensures that schools continually look for ways to improve the school but also gives validation for the changes we have made over the years. The addition of an aligned curriculum (Beyond Textbooks), our Reteach program, the use of formative and summative assessments, along with quarterly benchmarks, allowed the accreditation team to see these positive changes. We will have another visit from AdvancEd during the 2024 school year.

I also want to share with the community that our assistant principal, David Graham, has decided to return to the classroom next year. David is an extremely talented gifted teacher and has accepted a position with ASU's Gary K. Herberger Academy as an Academic Professional, teaching humanities. Many teachers who move into administration have a very difficult time leaving the classroom. David is a teacher at heart and is excited about returning to the classroom. We are thankful for his efforts this year and he had a positive impact on our campus. We have posted the position and will look to host interviews later this month. Our process will include a community interview with students, teachers, staff, parents, and community members represented.
