Striving for Excellence at Alhambra is a commitment we all share, students, families, and staff alike. It means pushing beyond expectations, taking pride in our work, and working together to create the best opportunities for success. Whether in the classroom, at home, or throughout our community, excellence is what drives us forward and ensures every learner has the chance to thrive.

Last week, we honored more than 50 students who earned perfect scores on the AASA (Arizona’s Academic Standards Assessment) at our Governing Board meeting! Their achievements showcase their hard work, dedication, and the spirit of excellence that shines at Alhambra. We couldn’t be prouder!



School safety begins before the bell. A big thank you to our dedicated staff for helping students and families cross busy streets safely with care, attention, and kindness.

Learning happens everywhere on campus, inside and outside the classroom!
School is more than books and homework, it’s also about being part of the team, trying new things, and making memories that last. Get involved and see where it takes you!

Every school day is a building block for success!
Missing even a few days each month can make it harder for students to catch up. Let’s build strong attendance habits together. 💪
How many days has YOUR child missed? Make sure they are in class and on track!
