University High School

As one of the top schools in the nation, University High School offers advanced learning opportunities, including 29 Advanced Placement courses and full honors curriculum for our students, plus a range of electives which span from engineering design to a full fine arts roster, to yoga and AP Art History. With a complete athletics program that spans all through interscholastic seasons, our students have the opportunity to enrich both mind and body alike, and can explore all of their interests in a safe and encouraging learning environment.

We continually strive to evaluate our academic and social practices to evolve our structure in the best interest of providing the best interest of our students, families, and community. This includes changing grading practices, classwork presentation, school-wide initiatives, and social-emotional awareness and support, all while providing a world-class education to our gifted and talented students.

Our mission as a special-function public high school is to serve students who are academically focused and intellectually gifted by providing curriculum and social support.

We are proud to be recognized as an 'A' school by the Arizona Department of Education, a National Blue Ribbon School, and a U.S. News & World Report Best High School.
