We are located just east of Scottsdale, Arizona and west of the McDowell
Mountains. FHUSD has four schools:
Fountain Hills High School (grades 9-12)
Fountain Hills Middle School (grades 6-8)
Four Peaks Elementary (grades 3-5)
McDowell Mountain Elementary (grades preK-2).
We serve approximately 2500 students. Our district covers more than 19 square
miles and draws students from the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation as well as other
students whose parents prefer that they attend FHUSD.
Our staff of highly qualified teachers work hand-in-hand with our administrators
to assure that a strong educational curriculum is the focal point of the daily
instructional program here at FHUSD. We also enjoy strong community involvement
and the district enjoys the contribution of the Fountain Hills MentoringProgram,
which pairs Fountain Hills' residents with elementary students who are in need
of extra academic attention.
The town is named for the centerpiece and landmark, which sends a snow-white
stream of water 560 feet into our blue desert sky, known as one of the "World's
Highest Fountains" and our community consists of rolling hills and spectacular
mountain views. Our town's residents enjoy a high quality of life, many enticing
recreational activities, and some of the finest weather in the country. But,
we're proudest of the fact that our schools rank among the highest in Arizona
student achievement.
