In the Vail School District we have clearly identified what students will learn at each grade level. These topics of study are aligned with both the State standards and the State assessments. Testing does not exist as an isolated event. Rather, it provides teachers with valuable information to inform and guide instruction and provides students with an opportunity to show all that they have learned.

Vail is known throughout Southern Arizona both for the comprehensiveness as well as the quality of its staff development programs. Indeed, ongoing staff development is endemic to the culture of Vail, which takes pride in never settling for the status quo in educational practices.

College and Career Readiness provides a graduating high school student the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the education and/or postsecondary job training needed for his/her chosen career (i.e. community college, university, tech/vocational program, apprenticeship, or significant on-the-job training). An essential component of this outcome is for students to learn about their own interests and skills, career options, finances, and post-secondary learning options.

Thus, students should select a rigorous course load consisting of core as well as elective and/or Career and Technical Education subjects that are part of a well-rounded education. Students should also be engaging in multiple community and work opportunities which expand on their interests and allow them opportunities to acquire experiences that will guide them towards selecting a career.

At each of our high schools, VSD provides access to the courses, experiences, and supports needed for our students to succeed in their chosen career.
