Special Education in Higley Unified School District

Our goal is to provide educational services and opportunities that:

  • Address the whole child and result in programs that promote a successful school experience and full life-preparedness.
  • Promote student growth and learning, including areas of the general curriculum and State Standards.
  • Support students in moving toward understanding of self and others, with appreciation for their own and all people's unique skills, talents and diversity.
These can be accomplished through appropriate and meaningful individual student plans, placement in environments conducive to growth, and with the assistance of well-trained, compassionate instructors, who articulate with all our partners and have opportunities for professional growth and mutual support. Staff here serve as advocates to students, families and other staff. Networks, partnerships and flexibility ensure the coordination of services necessary to meet the challenges facing students with special needs. Central to this is the involvement, participation and partnership with parents/guardians of students to further enhance each child’s school experience.
