About Us

Dr. Flori Huitt
Assistant Superintendent

We are here to equip, inspire and enrich the strengths of all learners with relevant educational experiences for lifelong learning.

Every day we strive to provide a world-class education that is equitable, empowering and inspiring for all.

EQUITY — DIVERSITY — SUCCESS — ACTION

We align with the six overarching principles as presented by the Council of the Great City Schools.

  1. Stick to grade-level content and instructional rigor
  2. Focus on the depth of instruction, rather than the pace
  3. Prioritize content and learning while continuing to reflect the district’s instructional vision and commitment to equity
  4. Maintain the inclusion of each and every learner
  5. Identify and address gaps in learning through instruction
  6. Resume instruction in a way that feels contextualized and responsive, helping students to comprehend the world around them and to reaffirm students’ understanding of themselves as members of a learning community.
We follow Academic Standards of the Arizona Department of Education.

All course proposals will be carefully reviewed for alignment to Arizona's College and Career Ready (AZCCR) Standards and our Curriculum Framework.

Each proposal to change, delete, or create a course is reviewed through several steps:

  1. Instructor proposes course with statement of need and course details
  2. Sr. Director of Curriculum and content specialists review proposals (2-4 weeks)
  3. Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum reviews (1-2 weeks)
  4. Submitted to Governing Board for approval (4-8 weeks)
