Academics
With a focus on solid educational offerings from preschool through high school, classroom teachers focus on each student's learning, taking the guesswork out of education with data-driven instruction and accountability.

Gifted and accelerated learning options start in preschool and move through high school.

Higley and Williams Field High Schools offer 35+ Advanced Placement and dual enrollment classes to better prepare students for college and careers.

 

Weekly art and music instruction are provided to all elementary students. Band, orchestra and choir begin at the elementary level.

Fine art electives at the secondary level include choir, band, orchestra, drama, drawing, dance and painting and ceramics.

Higley middle and high school students receive accolades state- and nationwide for their talents, including state titles in marching band and color guard. Music groups consistently receive superior ratings.

 

All Higley schools provide opportunities in sports. Elementary students can join the Higley Youth Sports League, with fun recreational sports offered each quarter for older students and cheerleading for all age levels.

Middle schools participate in the East Valley Conference: baseball/softball, volleyball, flag football, basketball, cross country, soccer, wrestling, and track and field.
