As part of Kyrene School District’s unwavering commitment to its vision that all students achieve at their maximum potential to become problem-solvers, creators, and visionaries of tomorrow, the District has identified five schools to receive additional support and resources in order to close achievement gaps and transform the lives of students.

Those transformation schools are:

  • Kyrene de la Colina
  • Kyrene de la Esperanza 
  • Kyrene de las Lomas
  • Kyrene del Milenio
  • Kyrene de los Niños
  • Kyrene Akimel A-al Middle School
  • Centennial Middle School
  • Kyrene Middle School

 

Our Kyrene Governing Board has approved a partnership between the University of Virginia Darden School and these schools. Though the program has ended, the key principles remain: using a systemic approach and district ownership for success, school leadership makes a difference in transformation, and sustaining change requires ongoing support and accountability. These schools will continue to offer reduced student ratios and increased resources to close achievement gaps and transform the lives of students.
