Beth is a special education teacher who wanted to give her students a chance to participate in one of our greatest high school rituals: Prom. (Here’s an article from AZCentral.com).

Back to School in February???

Buyer Help

If you are the parent of an 8th grader, then you know exactly what I am talking about. For 8th graders in the Dysart Unified School District, it’s time to pick elective courses for that freshman year of high school.
