Academies edit
The student body is organized into distinct academies, each with a focus on specific career fields. Freshmen are introduced to the academy system through the Freshman Academy. In the Freshman Academy, students cycle through all four of the school's academies, changing at the beginning of each new quarter, so they can make an informed decision in time for their sophomore year. The Arizona School Boards Association awarded the 2010 Golden Bell Award to the program.[3]
