Welcome to the Catalina Foothills Unified School District #16 in
Tucson, Arizona, a system of schools recognized as an exceptional learning place
for our community's children. All of our schools have been graded "A" by the Arizona Department of Education, an
indication that we consistently reach high levels of student achievement.
We are committed to a 21st century learning agenda that prepares
our students well for what comes after their PreK-12 years with us. We believe
that a dynamic 21st century curriculum taught by highly competent professionals
who are held accountable for learning results is key to our students' academic
success.
I hope you will take the time to get to know us better through
this Web site. There are links throughout the site that will take you to video
and audio clips of our students, staff, and parents whose images and voices tell
our educational story. Enjoy.
Sincerely,
Mary Kamerzell, Ph.D., Superintendent |
