Strategic Transformation of Education Plan (STEP)
For the 2023-2024 school year, Tohono O'odham High School is implementing the Strategic Transformation of Education Plan initiative – a digital learning portal with a blended learning approach. Our students can maximize this opportunity by accessing the digital learning portal with a 1:1 student-laptop usage ratio. This approach gives our students the advantage of integrated applications, and a robust learning strategy.
Tohono O'odham High School's team of dedicated educators are committed to the growth and development of your children - tomorrow’s leaders.
