The district centennial school year is 2013-14, and planning is underway to celebrate in all 46 schools and district-wide with a series of events and donations to the community. Parents, staff, students and community members are invited to share memories and photographs of the history of the district on our Facebook page, and to join our celebration.
- Share your memories and photos on the 100-Years-of-Paradise Facebook page. District employees who wish to post on this page can do so from a non-district account on a network connection other than the district’s.
- Alumni, share your achievements! Where are you now? Fill out our alumnus information form.
- Watch the four-minute PV student video.
- Check out the yearbooks from Paradise Valley High School 1962, Horizon High School 1981, Shadow Mountain High School 1974, and North Canyon High School 1997.
