Explorer MS Re-Opening Plan
Read our guide for returning to in person learning here
The great challenge for any school is to find a way to meet the needs of each student that walks through the doors each day. The Vision of the Paradise Valley Unified School District and Explorer Middle School is to stand out from the rest; and to cultivate, lead, and inspire world-class, innovative thinkers and expert communicators in each of our students. We accomplish this through Explorer's mission: Engage, Empower, Explore, Experience.
