Great staff with a great community feeling. Wouldn’t want my daughter to go anywhere else. Great in academics, athletics, quiz bowl, Band, and many other activities. Close Quote

I have had two kids graduate and one still at Corona.

Like all schools, this school has some very good teachers and some teachers that should have been sent packing 10 years ago.

This school is all about the squeaky wheel. With 3000 students, if your kid is getting a raw deal on something, the only way to fix it is for the parent to step in, otherwise you'll get nothing.

Get to know the Principal...he is the best advocate you can have there. Bypass the registrar when possible ... she's new at the job and doesn't get that she's providing a service and you are the customer. Close Quote

Hello,

My wife and I have sent our four daughters to Corona del Sol and are extremely happy with both the academic experience and extra-curricular experience as well.

Now that our youngest is graduating we will sorely miss our time at CDS. Highlight areas include:

Challenging yet fun AP instructors and curriculum.

Cousenling designed for success and college placement.

Athletic programs that not only support a winning attitude but a comraderie focus. Our daughters participated in swim, diving, softball and volleyball. All had State championship experiences. All four were well trained in practice theory and team building. Corona del Sol Aztecs understand the idea of team work and never giving up.
My wife and I had wonderful relationships with all the educators at CDS. The rare times our daughters had challenges, their teachers always contacted us personally to discuss their concerns and ideas to resolve the situation.
The following demonstrates the productivity of the programs at CDS.
Eldest daughter graduated University of Arizona.
Second daughter graduated with Honors and is attending University of Texas at Austin. UT is a very difficult school to get into for out of state students.
Third daughter graduated with Honors and is attending Northern Az Univ.
Fourth daughter graduated with Honors and is also attending NAU.
All four daughters were involved in Student Council and other programs,e.g. Choir (outstanding choir program), Big Brothers and Big Sisters the list goes on.
In closing I must say, parental involvement in any HighSchool program is essential and CDS thrives because of this.
Thanks to all who helped our daughters evolve into great adults. Close Quote
