Superintendent's Message - June 2026

Dear SUSD,

As we close the 2025–2026 school year, I am filled with gratitude and pride for all that our students, staff, families, and community accomplished together this year.

First and foremost, congratulations to the Scottsdale Unified School District Class of 2026! This year, nearly 1800 graduates crossed the stage ready to begin their next chapter. Whether pursuing college, career, military service, or other opportunities, our graduates leave SUSD prepared to lead, contribute, and succeed. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you.

This year was defined by excellence, resilience, innovation, and focus.
