Congratulations to Jaime Pagliarulo, the 2026 Chandler Chamber Community Awards Educator of the Year recipient!

Right before receiving this award, Coach P led students at Conley Elementary through a recorder musical performance, demonstrating her dedication to students when the school needed a music teacher. She stepped in to teach P.E and music! 😮 But we always knew she was an integral part of the Yotes community well before this moment. Congratulations!

For a second year, Hamilton High School's Portrait of a Learner (POL) Exhibition was back and better than before!

Four teachers and their students invited district, staff, and family members to visit with Government, English, and Statistics classes last week. Students reflected on their growth of POL skills and knowledge with these visitors and each other.

The CUSD Portrait of a Learner initiative focuses on these six core traits:
✏️ Adaptability
✏️ Collaboration
✏️ Communication
✏️ Critical Thinking
✏️ Empathy
✏️ Global Citizen
