We now enroll 1,308 students in grades 9 to 12 on North Murphy Road, with an average class size of 25 students. Students build their schedules from our course catalogs, and our Career and Technical Education program gives grades 9 to 12 hands-on career preparation alongside core academics. Our College and Career Readiness team helps students plan for what comes after graduation, and our library and bookstore support daily coursework. Outside class, students join Student Council and the National Honor Society, and our athletes compete in football, flag football, girls volleyball, golf, swimming and cross country. As part of Maricopa Unified, families can use district bus transportation and free and reduced-price meals, and the district runs tuition-based community, developmental and dual language preschools for younger siblings.
