Sky View Elementary School

It is with great enthusiasm that I Introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal at Sky View Elementary School. My name is Jason Whitaker, and I am honored to join the Sky Hawk community and serve all stakeholders within the Peoria Unified School District.

A native of Phoenix, I attended Desert Valley Elementary and graduated from Ironwood High School. With 23 years of experience in education, I bring a passion for supporting student growth, fostering a positive learning environment and will commit to collaborating closely with teachers, staff, parents, and students to ensure that every child receives the support and opportunities they need to succeed both academically and socially. I have obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. I am certified through the Arizona Department of Education and hold a Standard PreK-12 Principal Certification as well as a certificate in National Institute for School Leadership completing a recent Executive Development Program.

I have been married for 18 years and have two amazing daughters. I played soccer at a high level and competed in three different national championships. After teaching and coaching for 10 years, I embarked in school leadership in 2011 and have since held roles such as Assistant Principal, Principal and High School Director of Athletics.

Together, let us work towards creating a school environment where every student feels valued, inspired, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

As Sky Hawks, we will Lead, Learn and Soar together!
