Desert Vista and Mountain Pointe Gear Up for Fall with Summer Planning

Desert Vista and Mountain Pointe, the two Tempe Union high schools serving Ahwatukee's upper grades, are in the quiet stretch of summer when administrative teams prepare schedules, refresh facilities, and organize for the fall. While students enjoy their break, the work of getting ready for a new school year is already underway behind the scenes.

For families with high schoolers, summer is the time to handle practical logistics: checking course schedules, ordering textbooks if required, reviewing updated campus maps, and confirming any extracurricular involvement. It's also a good moment to make sure transcripts are in order if your student is a graduating senior or planning a summer course elsewhere.

August arrival means late-summer workshops, orientation sessions, and club fairs are likely coming soon. Keep an eye on your school's website and communication channels for fall kickoff dates. The heat of summer will fade faster than you expect, and the new school year will be here before long.
