History

The Alhambra School District was organized on August 6, 1888. Our first school was a one room brick building on Shady Lane, now known as 33rd Avenue, between Grand Avenue and Indian School Road. Today, the Alhambra Elementary School District is no longer a small school on the west side of Phoenix. We now serve over 14,500 students in preschool through eighth grades, and have 15 schools. We are proud of our history and strive to maintain our excellent educational traditions.
