We love hearing about great experiences in the classroom! ESS Substitute, Patti Wentz, recently enjoyed a day at Cactus Canyon High School and shared some kind words about the welcoming team. 💙

“I was a Guest Teacher at Cactus Canyon today. It was for Beginner & Intermediate Guitar. These types of classes are my favorite. I enjoy seeing the students do something tactile. I was impressed with how great they sounded as it’s early in the year.

I appreciate that Cactus Canyon Admin always has a warm greeting, gives clear directions to the classroom and provides a restroom key. I really had fun today and look forward to next time.”

A great morning at Coffee with the Superintendent! ESS loved connecting with the Phoenix Union team, hearing important updates, enjoying some friendly trivia competition, and, of course, sharing a few treats! 🍪☕️

We’re grateful for opportunities to connect, collaborate, and continue building strong partnerships across the district. 💙

Art is not extra. Art is essential. This National Arts in Education Week, we celebrate how creativity builds confident students and strong thinkers. 🎨✨

On this 25th anniversary of Patriot Day, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Rebuilding our nation's strength starts in our classrooms. Teaching youth about government and community service helps them feel responsible for their neighborhoods. This early learning inspires them to step up and serve as future local leaders.

By integrating strong civic education and inspiring service, we can encourage the next generation to answer the call of duty and recruit future community heroes.
