A Deeper Dive into our School

We invite you to take a few minutes to take a deeper dive into the walls of our school. We are proud to share with you our celebrations, innovations and student engagements happening each and every day.

Students Show Off Their Musical Talents!

Students in Mrs. Vaziri’s Mariachi Los Zafiros Azules meet once a week after school to connect with friends, share their culture and make music. The students practice all year and perform in multiple district events throughout the community.

A group of people, some with dark hair and others with lighter hair, are gathered together and appear to be engaged in a discussion or activity.

Supporting the Whole Child

District 62 continues to place an emphasis on supporting the needs of all children especially as it relates to social emotional learning "SEL" and supports.
