A Message From The Superintendent

The Tolleson Union High School District is a small district with high expectations. Our enthusiastic and caring administrative leadership, coupled with our dedicated and student-centered teachers and support staff, strive to ensure success for each child by helping him or her to reach their potential.

Just as each school is different, each school has a strong Tolleson Union High School District identity. Highly qualified and dedicated teachers and principals are found in every school, as are high expectations for each student. We’ve built a strong tradition of achievement in academics and take pride in providing students and their families a safe, nurturing, and challenging learning environment. The Tolleson Union High School District offers students and their families:

A Commitment to Safety

The Tolleson Union High School District believes that in order for students to achieve optimum learning, they must first feel safe and secure. We maintain an environment that mandates zero tolerance for weapons and strive to maintain schools free of all forms of intimidation, bullying, and harassment. Safe campuses ensure that learning is the focus of each and every day.

A Commitment to Achievement

We are committed to creating a learning environment in which all students value, seek, and achieve academic success. Our focus is the individual needs of each child – from the advanced student to those with special needs and all students in between. Our expectations are high, but we realize no two students come to school with the same needs. Our goal is to equip each student with the tools to become responsible citizens and lifelong learners.

A Commitment to Diversity

As the District serves a diverse community, so, too, do our schools. This diversity brings a rich tapestry of cultures and provides a rainbow of learning opportunities for all. Every effort is made in our schools and classrooms to build greater understanding of and appreciation for the strength in our diversity. As American public education pioneer Horace Mann said more than 100 years ago, "Education is best provided in schools embracing children of all religious, social, and ethnic backgrounds."

I am proud of the Tolleson Union High School District and celebrate the successes of our staff and students. On behalf of our Governing Board, I encourage you to visit our schools.
