“I was born and raised in Arizona to parents that valued hard work and education.  Just like my three brothers and two sisters, I graduated from Moon Valley High School and spent much of my life participating in sports.  After graduating from college, I married my high school sweetheart and have been smiling ever since.  We have two wonderful little boys, a beautiful baby girl and a golden retriever that keep us extremely busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Black Mountain Elementary offers its students Performing Arts:  Dance, Drama, and Music; Spanish Taught PreK-6; and Individualized Learning Model.  For more information please contact the principal at [email protected] or by calling 480-575-2100.
