Welcome to A Class on Public School Positivity! We will highlight all the good things happening in Arizona's fantastic public schools! Follow us to stay up to date on the good news about Arizona's public schools!
Thanks to all those who came out for our Kinder Showcase events last night, welcoming the Class of 2039! 🤯 If you were unable to make it, reach out to your local school, and they would be happy to provide you with a tour. Enrollment is underway for the 2026-2027 school year, and we would love for you to thrive in one of our "A" rated schools!
It's Public Schools Week and this young man is taking advantage of all his school has to offer!
"My teachers are awesome and I get to go into different classrooms for different subjects. I love theatre, dancing, and singing, and I like learning with projects instead of just worksheets. I feel safe here. Everybody knows me, and people like me just the way I am." 💙🩶

Airman Tippens was invited to read a book written by the class, starting with the page written by his son! Welcome home and thank you for your service! 🇺🇲

We continue our celebration of public schools with some kind words from Zinah, who says,
"The best thing about being a student at Sunset Hills is definitely the theater program and choir. Our music teacher is really cool, and we get to put on amazing productions. I just like how it’s a family and everyone has known each other for a long time."

Today we kick off Public Schools Week, and what better way to celebrate than to hear what our staff and students have to say about Dysart Schools!
"Collaboration is a strength of our school, and I value the opportunity to work with teachers across all the grade levels I support. The administration is respectful of feedback and consistently open to hearing teachers’ ideas, creating an environment where voices are valued, and the entire school community can continue to grow and improve together."
