Open Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year opens November 1! Open enrollment is for students who wish to attend a MUSD school where they do not live within the school’s attendance boundaries.
Dr. Streeter discussed Prop 411 and the two new schools coming to MUSD, iChoose and the new K-8 in Gladden Farms, on the Local Marana Podcast.
Marana Schools doubled its number of A-rated schools, from 5 to 10 in one year, the most A-rated schools in MUSD’s history!
Proposition 411 is a crucial measure on the upcoming Nov 5 ballot for MUSD. Prop 411 will maintain and slightly increase the current Maintenance and Operations override, which supports our students and enhances the quality of education in our community by protecting class sizes and offering competitive salary and wages to teachers and support staff.
Congratulations to Mrs. Megan Hawkes, a Tortolita Middle School Teacher, who was honored as a 2024 Legendary Teacher! Mrs. Hawkes was surprised with the honor in her classroom this week.
MUSD’s annual Holiday Share program supports District families in need during the holidays by connecting them with generous donors who adopt families and support them with donations of food, gifts, clothing and other necessities.
MUSD brought together nearly 180 key stakeholders from across the community to provide input and help shape the foundation for the District’s strategic planning process.
You are more than a profession; you are an inspiration. Thank you Marana Unified School District teachers!

Highlights
Home of the Cougars, we believe that children need many avenues for learning and those outside of the classroom are equally important.
The academic, behavioral, emotional and social needs of middle school students require us to ensure that our approaches and supports are tailored to meet those needs. Teachers are organized into interdisciplinary teams so that they can work collaboratively on behalf of the students they serve.
Our school offers art, band, ceramics, drama, guitar and orchestra. We also have advanced classes in art, ceramics and drama for 8th graders. Students have opportunities to perform on campus and in the community.
Every student at our school receives a Chromebook and our teachers are trained to use these devices to enhance learning.
Collaborative partnerships allow our school to leverage family, school, and community resources to remove barriers to learning and provide essentials to families in need.
Tortolita Middle School is pleased to announce the achievement of Level 1 certification in Marzano High-Reliability Schools™. Level 1 certification means our school has created a “Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Culture,” which is the foundation for every level that follows.
