So I was not able to get Max's yearbook on Monday because we are both sick with covid-19! How can I get his yearbook?
We were honored to provide our Peoria Diamond Club Emerging Leader Scholarships given to 1 graduate from each of the 41 Peoria Unified School District schools. We weren't able to capture pictures of all of the inspiring scholarship recipients, but here are a few.

General Manager Roz Morreale Shanley and Board Members Steve Harvey and Leeanne Gardner helped with presentations.

We were so inspired by these kids and the passion and leadership that these scholarship recipients are showing. We look forward to watching them continue to do great things!

Our parents are so awesome. Ms. Jan is retiring after this year and she received this beautiful blanket and flowers from one of our wonderful families. Made her tear up. She will surely be missed by all.
Good evening Copperwood moms. I am trying to have my daughter go to Copperwood next year, but need to find someone in the Glendale area to carpool with. I am a teacher at a Glendale school and need help with getting my daughter to Copperwood. Is there anyone who comes from the Orangewood area (Sunset Vista School) that would be willing to carpool? Please DM me! Thank you in advance!
The Peoria Unified School District Governing Board approved the following administrative appointments at the April 14 Governing Board Meeting: Ms. Megan Bennett as the principal of Vistancia Elementary School, Mr. Shawn Duguid as the principal of Liberty High School, Ms. Michelle Lewis as the principal of Oasis Elementary School, Diana Romito, Ed.D. as the principal of Copperwood Elementary and Ms. Alison Shinkle as the principal of Desert Palms Elementary School. These individuals will oversee all functions on their school site related to Peoria Unified’s Strategic Plan—Student Success, Safety and Well-Being, Community Connection and Stewardship of Community Resources effective July 1, 2022.

Bennett is joining Peoria Unified from Connecticut and will be relocating to Arizona this summer. She is bringing a wealth of experience to the district, currently serving as superintendent of schools for Regional School District 12 and leading four schools with approximately 800 students. Bennett has held the roles of principal from 2007 to 2018, as well as teacher, coach and a math coordinator.

Duguid has served in Peoria Unified School District in a variety of roles since 1998. He started his career as a teacher at Oakwood Elementary from 1998-2005. In 2005, he was named assistant principal where he served both Sundance Elementary and Sahuaro Ranch Elementary from 2005-2012. He was then appointed as the Principal at Oakwood Elementary where he served the staff, students and community for six years. From 2018-2021, Duguid held the role of executive director over elementary schools and then transitioned to chief operations officer. For the past year, Duguid has served as assistant principal at Raymond S. Kellis High School.

Lewis currently serves as Peoria Unified’s 504 coordinator. She previously worked in the Human Resources Department as a Human Resource director and specialist from 2014 to 2017. Lewis started her career in Florida as a teacher and went on to serve as administrator at both the middle school and high school level. She served as dean of students, assistant principal and principal of middle schools and high schools in Marion County Public Schools from 2001-2014.

Dr. Romito is joining the Peoria Unified School District after being a building level administrator in Cartwright School District, serving in both assistant principal and principal roles since 2011. Prior to that, she was a teacher in Cartwright, as well as a media specialist in Indiana. She has experience in Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS), as well as Boys Town and the Leader In Me programs. She worked to bring the International Baccalaureate (IB) program to one of the middle schools in Cartwright and served school that housed the district’s gifted program.

Shinkle has held the role of assistant principal for the last five years at Foothills Elementary and Desert Palms elementary schools. She most recently moved into the interim principal position at Desert Palms in December, and is serving her community, staff and students in a positive manner. Prior to her appointment as an administrator, she began her career with Peoria Unified as an instructional assistant while she went to school for teaching. She then moved into a teaching position serving resource students at Ira A. Murphy Elementary and Oakwood Elementary for more than eight years.

We are excited to welcome them into their new roles!
Congratulations to Nicolas and Peiten!

School Lunch Hero Day was Friday May 6th. It seems the perfect time to announce one of the most incredibly bittersweet moments for our Charger Family… Mrs. Jan Kulesa, is preparing for retirement. We are so excited for the wonderful journey she has ahead but as you know, Jan will be missed ❤️. Jan began as a volunteer mom about 25 years ago. She eventually became the kitchen manager , earned Pride of Peoria and the rest is history! Our staff and administrators over the years can all attest to the amazing woman, colleague and mama bear Jan is. Thank you, Mrs. Kulesa for the gift of you during your years of service. Happy retirement!
