Our partners – the Washington Park Neighborhood Association, the City of Phoenix and Councilwoman Betty Guardado – invite you to a special community celebration this Wednesday, April 1, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Washington Activity Center (2240 W. Citrus Way) to unveil its exciting new look!

Thanks to the NCAA Women’s Final Four Legacy Project presented by Dove, the center has been transformed with upgraded indoor and outdoor basketball courts, a new computer lab, a teen lounge and a stunning new mural.

Come see the transformation and celebrate with our community!

HUGE round of applause for two incredible women at Maryland — Lisa Hayes, our Academic Intervention Specialist and Britney Villa, our Social Worker! 👏✨

While they serve in very different roles on our campus, they share two very important things in common. First, they are among the most dedicated, selfless, and hardworking people you will ever meet. Both are truly the fuel behind so many wonderful achievements and successes at Maryland, often working behind the scenes to support our students, staff, families, and even initiatives across the District. Their commitment to this community is unwavering, and they give their hearts to this work every single day!

Second, they are BOTH recipients of one of the highest honors in our District — the Lamp of Learning Award! 🏆 This recognition is so well deserved, and we could not be more proud to celebrate them. Maryland is incredibly lucky to have these two amazing women as part of our community! 💙 Congratulations to you both!

Happy National School Social Work Week to our incredible social worker, Britney Villa! 💙 For the past 11 years, Britney has been a pillar of support for the Maryland community. The impact she has made on our students, families, and staff is truly immeasurable, and our school is a better place because of her compassion, dedication, and heart. Maryland is so grateful to have her and the difference she makes every single day! 🌟
