Please join me in thank our super staff and leadership for their hard work as we are proud to share that Sacaton Elementary has been named one of the Top Ten Native-serving school districts in Arizona for academic growth, as highlighted by AZCentral and Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Horne. Our District saw an impressive +124% increase in student proficiency in math and English—an accomplishment that reflects the dedication, resilience, and excellence of our educators and students alike.
This recognition is more than a statistic—it’s a story of perseverance, belief in our students, and the power of strong leadership. Principal Celis, your commitment to raising expectations, building a culture of success, and empowering your staff has transformed Sacaton Elementary into a model of what’s possible in Native education.
This school has moved from once receiving failing grades to now proudly holding a “B” rating, proving that with vision, teamwork, and community support, lasting change is not only possible—it’s happening.
To every teacher, staff member, and student: Thank you. Your hard work and belief in each other is the reason we are celebrating today.
Let us continue to build on this momentum and inspire even greater success in the years to come.
