The Alhambra Elementary School District has proudly served generations of families in west Phoenix. Established in 1888 with a single-room brick schoolhouse and a handful of students, Alhambra has grown alongside the city it calls home. Today, the district serves nearly 10,000 students across 16 elementary schools, a preschool, and a family resource center, continuing a legacy of academic excellence, community connection, and unwavering commitment to student success.
