On behalf of Queen Creek Unified School District #95, we welcome you to the Queen Creek Schools and our Web site. Queen Creek is a bedroom community in the central part of Arizona. Our town has many amenities for growing families and is a short commute from the Phoenix metropolitan area. We’re proud of our small town feel and family atmosphere—a place where you know your neighbors by name.

Queen Creek School District consists of four elementary schools, one middle schools, one junior high school, and one high school. Our enrollment is just over 5,000 students. We offer a quality educational program with our top-notch educators and support staff. Our students continue to exceed state and national averages on our achievement test scores. We are dedicated to providing a challenging learning experience for our students in a loving, supportive environment. Queen Creek Schools is a great place to be.

Thank you for visiting the QCUSD Web site. We call the southeast corner of the Valley of the Sun our home. Even with a growing population, you’ll still experience the small town, at home feeling of our close-knit community!

We are proud of our academic standards and our focus on quality education for all students. All four of our elementary schools, as well as Newell Barney Junior High School, carry the State’s highest rating of “Excelling” with pride. Our middle school and high school have earned “Highly Performing” labels, and our reputation for educating students is spreading and bringing more families to this area.

Please take some time to browse our Web site, and check out what our district offers our students, employees, and our community. We are very fortunate to have the support of our community who works with the governing board to help educate our children in “The Queen Creek Way.” If you ever have any questions, concerns, or would like to tour one of our schools, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

James D. Murlless, Ed.D.
Superintendent
