Volunteers

Welcome to the Higley Unified School District. On behalf of the students, teachers, and administrative staff, we would like to thank you for your willingness to share your time and talents. The work you do will have a direct and constructive influence on the quality of education provided to our students.

Your participation in our schools should provide a rewarding experience for you. We hope that your experience as a volunteer will be personally challenging and gratifying. You now have the opportunity to contribute your knowledge and skills to many students and to better understand the schools and the ways students learn.

If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions regarding the volunteer program, please contact your child's school for more information.
