The history of the South Phoenix corridor along the Salt River, generally south of the railroad tracks, is a story of many different people carving out an existence for themselves and their families and persisting despite many extreme challenges. Its historical challenges include extreme poverty in an area that offered primarily low-wage agricultural and some industrial jobs; regional indifference and often hostile racist attitudes that restricted economic opportunities; unregulated land use and relatively late city annexation of a predominantly minority district; lack of investments in housing stock and Figure 1 – Colorful wall mural separating the Spaces of basic infrastructure; and industrialization that engendered Opportunity Farm Park from residential homes.

  • Dear Desert Vista Family, Thank You
    “Excellence Through Performance” Dear Desert Vista Family, Thank you for sending and preparing your student(s) for AzMerit and Science AIMS! It has helped tremendously with the logistics of testing all of our students. Prom is coming up on Saturday, April 28th from 7:30pm-10:30pm (as required by the location) at The Venue in Scottsdale. It is a wonderful time to come together to enjoy music and dancing. Hard work, planning and preparation by our student body council members and teacher sponsors go into planning this memorable occasion for our students. In keeping with the high school tradition of having fun and embracing our safety first for all students, both during school hours and all extra-curricular activities, I would like to partner with you for the safety and well-being of our students. While planning this exciting event with your child, I ask that you keep in mind that party buses are popular for some students to take to and from dances, but please know that not all companies have our students’ best interest at heart and/or do not know the school and parent expectations for such events. I would like to recommend that each parent check the reputation of the company and driver, and discuss expectations with the driver when your child gets on the bus. We will request that all buses drop students off at the entrance to the dance whereby an administrator and security guard will coordinate the exit of the students off of the bus. Once parked, the administrator and security guard will search the bus.

  • In Keeping That in Mind, We Ask That All Seniors Leave Their Back Packs at Home on Friday, May 18Th
    “Excellence Through Performance” Dear Desert Vista Family, As we head into the home stretch, I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every senior student and their parent and/or guardian. The senior leadership has been strong and effective, and has positively impacted all of us here at Desert Vista. This year’s senior class expressed themselves amazingly, and displayed appropriate spirit and behavior at our assemblies, all of our extra-curricular activities including all dances, while on campus during the school day and within their classrooms. They worked tirelessly on their academic learning and preparation for their future. They treated each other with kindness and respect, and were concerned for others. Thank you for leaving such a strong legacy of what a senior leader should be on the Desert Vista High School campus! I wish you all the very best that life has to offer and please know that you all will be missed! Keeping that in mind and continuing with these last few days of school, we have some wonderful activities planned for our seniors and our desire is for all to enjoy. If you are a parent of a senior, I ask that you partner with us to encourage a strong finish until the end; both academically and behaviorally. We have had thoughtful, positive and impactful leadership from our seniors and expect them to finish strong! We ask that you talk to your senior and encourage good choices that follow district and school policies, including ‘senior pranks’ that are not tolerated by either our district office or school.
