It cannot be stated often enough how great an impact our educators have on our students and the Community.
We value and appreciate our staff now and always, which we hope is evident in the changes we’ve seen with regards to professional development opportunities, benefits and compensation.
As such, we want to share exemplars of how fortunate we are to serve in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
