From Curtis Finch Jr., PhD
Despite the struggles of COVID-19 this past school year, the Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD) had one of its best school years for achievements. If there was a regional, state, or national award given out, DVUSD was probably on the list!
If one of the 32,000 DVUSD students, 4,000 staff, or 40 schools were eligible to compete for the award, they had a great chance of bringing home the top honors. Many of the 2020 school year awards can be found on our extraordinary page. DVUSD staff updates the long list of awards annually and it is not unusual to have 20 pages of successful students, staff, school, and/or District acknowledgements.
