Welcome Back Panther Families!
We hope your summer has been full of fun, rest, and great memories! While it’s always hard to say goodbye to summer break, we’re thrilled to shift gears and begin a brand-new school year together. The 2025–2026 school year is just around the corner, and with it comes fresh energy, new goals, and an inspiring theme to guide our journey:
“Panthers in Pursuit.”
At Palo Verde, we are always in pursuit of excellence—for our students, our school, and ourselves. This is what we call the Panther Way, and it drives everything we do. Our mission this year is clear: pursue excellence—boldly, relentlessly, and together.
Thanks to the partnership between our families and educators, we saw incredible progress last year. Students made record gains in important academic areas like MAP, AP, IB, and ACT. We’re proud of what we accomplished—and even more excited to build on that momentum this year.
Here’s how we’re continuing to support your child’s success:
- More Panther Way (READ-WRITE-DISCUSS-CONNECT) in every class, every day—promoting deeper learning and stronger connections.
- High-quality instruction that keeps students engaged and uses regular check-ins to make sure they’re on track
- Focused teacher collaboration, where we analyze student data and plan ways to increase academic challenge in the classroom.
- Targeted supports for both academic and social-emotional needs, so every student gets the help they need to thrive.
Most importantly, we’re committed to working as a team—with you. Your involvement and support make a huge difference, and we’re grateful to partner with you once again as we set the pace for another year of meaningful growth.
We’re ready. We’re focused. We’re Panthers in Pursuit—and we can’t wait to begin this journey with you!
Sincerely,
Lisa Schumacher, Principal
Palo Verde High School
