Presidio School is a college preparatory school that offers a challenging classical education where artistic, literary and scientific course work all are meaningful parts of the core curriculum. Presidio offers an educational model in which the arts, supports and stimulates learning in other domains such as math, science and reading – which in turn, supports and stimulates learning and valuation of the arts. This creates a web of influence that has the best possible chance of improving the success of all students. To further enhance the personal development and academic success of each student, instruction is presented in a setting where it is the goal of all faculty and staff to nurture and support every student’s journey towards academic excellence. Students are taught the value of respect, responsibility, and diversity. The Presidio learning community encourages independence of thought and deed, while teaching the need for self-imposed limits so as not to infringe upon the rights and freedoms of other community members. As evidence of the success of this academic model, Presidio School is an “A” school and was selected in 2007 from over 120,000 public, charter, and private schools as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Kristin Bannerman, deputy assistant secretary with the U.S. Department of Education cited Presidio’s high test scores and rigorous curriculum as the basis for the award. She stated, “Presidio is a model for the rest of the country.”

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with ALL IN Youth Pickleball this year to introduce Pickleball to our high school students!

Beginning this week, volunteer coaches from All In will visit Sifu's PE class once a week to teach students pickleball. This partnership will allow students to learn a fun new hobby while staying active. In addition to learning the rules of the game, students will also have opportunities to practice perseverance, good sportsmanship, and other important life skills. A BIG thank you to All In Youth Pickleball for partnering with us on this exciting new endeavor!

Today we had our first Flag Ceremony of the year. We recognized our nominees for the Citizenship Pillar Award and ushered in our next character pillar of Caring.

During the Flag Ceremony, we took a moment to honor the victims of 9/11. In light of the 25th anniversary and other difficult events that have happened in the Tucson community recently, our character pillars offer a good reminder of the importance of being a good citizen as well as being a caring and kind person. Mrs. Montierth urged the Presidio community to go out of their way to be kind this weekend.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Red vs. Purple Spirit Day! Participation was very high today.
