Amphitheater school district is proud of its high school students, who continue to work hard to get into colleges around the country, and to get scholarships to help them pay their way. The three high schools in the Amphitheater school district are Amphitheater High, Canyon del Oro, and Ironwood Ridge, and in all, students in the Class of 2018 were offered more than $25 million in scholarships.

Amphitheater High School reported 181 of their incredible students making post-secondary commitments, which is 77 percent of the 2018 senior class. One way that Amphitheater High encourages their seniors to pursue continuing education is by having all seniors to apply to Pima Community College so they know they will have an opportunity to further their education. Having their students apply enables seniors to feel they have at least one plan and options for their future. The total amount of scholarships, awards and financial support offered was more than $2.5 million. Students from Amphitheater High were accepted to Arizona State University, The University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University, Grand Canyon University, Pima Community College, and others.

Canyon del Oro High School’s 2018 graduates are also among the best and brightest in the nation. They were accepted to 134 different colleges, universities, military and vocational schools all across the country. Approximately 85% of the senior class chose to continue their education beyond high school. About 44% will be continuing at a four-year institution and 40% will be continuing at a two-year institution. Students received more than $2.8 million in scholarships offers alone for the first year of college, with a total of more than $10.8 million being awarded over the course of four years.
