In Memoriam- Randy Tiano
Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of Randy Tiano.
Randy, our facilities technician, passed away recently. We all knew Randy as a kind and helpful soul who helped keep our school running smoothly. He was a vital part of our community and will be missed. Randy played a big role in our athletics as he helped tend to our gym and field and was always willing to help where and when needed. He will be missed, and may he rest in peace.

Tax Credit Season is Underway!

Our athletics are made possible by your Arizona State Tax Credits. This is a dollar for dollar CREDIT on your AZ state taxes. 100% of your tax credit designation goes to our athletics and clubs, and provides our Chargers with these valuable opportunities.
Thank you for your support!

CarLife Charger of the Week:
Thank you to our community partner and neighbor CarLife, and Jeff Breid, for sponsoring our programs and supporting our scholar athletes. This award is performance based, with a strong emphasis on leadership and service!
Prahlad Ratan- 8th - MS A Flag Football
Prahlad and the Chargers finally got their flag football season underway and put on quite a show. "Petey'' had two touchdowns and 2 extra points on offense, and 2 interceptions on defense in a 26-6 win over Chandler Prep. He is consistently one of the hardest workers in practice, and mentors the younger players in the group in terms of how to practice and how to compete. Congratulations Prahlad!
