During Session I, attendees received a brief overview of the district and Peoria Unified’s history of serving every student, every day. If you would like to delve deeper, you can visit www.peoriaunified.org/aboutus.  Mr. Mike Maas shared what his experience was like on campus, and how he has seen our community change over time.

Similarly, our leadership team shared a high-level overview of the strategic plan, including the four perspectives: safety and well-being, student success, community connectedness and stewardship of resources. The most current strategic plan was implemented in 2021 and is set to conclude this school year. Throughout the next three sessions, we will discuss these four perspectives thoroughly.

Lastly, Dr. Somers introduced himself to our group and shared a little bit about why he is passionate about public education. He also shared the outcomes of his Listen, Learn & Lead tour which was conducted last spring. The summarized feedback is posted on our website alongside his Vision of Excellence and goals for the 2024-25 school year.

We cannot wait to see you at our next session at 10 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 21 at Coyote Hills Elementary School located at 21180 N 87th Ave, Peoria, AZ 85382.
