Camelback High School Spartans

As we wrap up the school year, we want to give a huge shoutout to Ms. Danchi Nguyen, Camelback Montessori Micro School Leader, for stepping in as interim APC in April!

We are so grateful for her leadership, flexibility, and support these last several weeks. Ms. Nguyen did an incredible job supporting Camelback athletics and activities while continuing to lead and serve as the heart of Camelback Montessori.

Ms. Nguyen is an amazing human who always puts students first, and we are so lucky to have her on our campus. Thank you for everything you do for Camelback, Ms. Nguyen!

Camelback Esports brought home some hardware last weekend! 🏆🎮

Our Marvel Rivals team battled through technical issues, computer crashes, and long hours to become the 2026 PXU District Champions! Their resilience and teamwork paid off with a huge win over Central.

Our Smash Ultimate team also had an incredible run, going undefeated in bracket play before facing the three-time state champion Carl Hayden team in an intense matchup. They regrouped and finished the tournament in 3rd place overall!

Congratulations to all of our Spartan gamers and coaches for an amazing season!
