Our student athletes took the court against our staff and officers from the Phoenix Police Department South Mountain Precinct in a fun and competitive volleyball game. Events like this remind us that school is about more than academics. It’s about building relationships, strengthening our community, and creating memories our students will carry with them long after the final whistle.
A big thank you to the officers from the South Mountain Precinct who joined us, and to our staff who were great sports. And of course, shoutout to our student athletes who came ready to compete! 💙🐂
