Diane Carrillo, a dedicated teacher at Ochoa Elementary, received a heartwarming surprise during the morning announcements when her parents and representatives from the Arizona Bowl arrived to reveal that she had been nominated and won $1,000 for her exceptional teaching. Her commitment to her students and the joy she brings to the classroom made her a truly deserving recipient of this wonderful award. Congratulations Ms. Carrillo!

What Makes Us Special

Ochoa, a school where learning revolves around real world challenges and is highly contextual and individualized.  

We don't simply teach the WHERE and WHEN but go much deeper. 

We challenge our scholars to ask the WHY and HOW. With this approach, our children understand more, and have a broader perspective  not easily found in other academic environments. 

Ochoa scholars are more curious, more introspective, and gain valuable insight into their own heads and hearts.
