Exciting News!
We are proud to share that Huachuca Mountain has earned the highest score in Cochise County, an incredible recognition of the hard work from our students, staff, and families. Based on our state-issued A rating, we truly are a top choice for education in our area. Additionally, the Governing Board will vote on November 19th to approve Huachuca Mountain as a K–8 school. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

Cool Morning, Warm Afternoon = Sweatshirt Season!
Arizona weather keeps us on our toes! Chilly mornings and warm afternoons mean lots of sweatshirts left behind on the playground. Just last week, more than 20 were collected from the field! Please remind your child to label their clothing and check the Lost and Found regularly. Families are also welcome to stop by and take a look anytime.

Community Partnership Reminder
We are grateful for the continued support of the Methodist Church across the street. Beginning November 7th, food pantry distribution trucks will be in their parking lot on the first Friday of every month. Please be mindful of parking lot entrance and exit signs and use extra caution during these times.
Families in need of food assistance may apply in the church office after 9:30 a.m.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Huachuca Mountain community! Let us know if you need anything.

This month, our PBIS winners could choose to enjoy a Fancy Lunch with the Principal! Students were treated to a special dining experience with fancy dishes and wonderful conversation. Instead of traditional prizes, they took home fun memories and unique experiences to remember.

We’re so proud of our students for showing positive behavior and making our school a great place to learn and grow!

We are the highest rated school in all of Cochise County! Our state letter grades were release today, and our score places at the highest ranking score in all of the County and ranks us solidly among the top schools in the state. When we think about school choice....we are the top choice !
In Arizona, earning an “A” letter grade from the Arizona Department of Education is the highest recognition a school can receive. It means our students are learning and growing at exceptional levels every year!

An “A” school shows strong achievement in reading, writing, and math, but it also means something even more important — our students are making outstanding growth. Whether a child starts ahead or needs extra support, they are improving and succeeding.

This rating also shows that our school helps all students learn, no matter their background or starting point. It reflects our teachers’ dedication, our students’ hard work, and the support we receive from our families and community.

Together, we’ve built a school where every child can learn, grow, and thrive — and that’s what truly makes us an “A” school!
