Services
Desert Winds High School offers a smaller classroom setting allowing teachers the ability to offer the individual attention students need as they progress toward graduation. All students at Desert Winds High School are welcomed and introduced to new opportunities and approaches to an educationally sound curriculum.
Desert Winds High School's mission is to encourage the development of well-rounded, confident, and responsible individuals who are engaged and willing to persevere in all efforts to achieve their full potential. We will do this by providing a welcoming, safe, and supportive learning environment where everyone is equal, and all achievements are celebrated.
A similar requirement is also contained in the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about each public school. A SARC can be an effective way for a school to report on its progress in achieving goals.
We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all our students and employees. We are focused on teaching strategies for violence prevention and have high expectations for student conduct, responsible behavior and respect for others. Each school safety plan is reviewed by the Board of Trustees and District leadership.
