Message from Principal

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to University High School! As a Blue Ribbon award recipient from the United States Department of Education, University High School offers advanced learning opportunities unparalleled in Arizona to over 1,100 students. We boast 28 Advanced Placement courses and a full honors curriculum for our students, plus a range of electives which span from engineering design, to a full fine arts roster, to yoga. With a complete athletics program that spans all interscholastic seasons, students at University High School have opportunities to not only enrich their minds but their bodies as well and can explore all their interests in a safe and encouraging learning environment.

Our students are accepted at colleges and universities around the world. But more importantly they are exposed to world-class teachers and a rich school culture which is developed from the very existence of like-minded students coming together in one place to satisfy their yearning to better themselves and prepare for the future. Feel free to explore our website and reach out to us if you have questions.


Once again, welcome!
