Cienega High School

Would you like to build relationships with students, celebrate their academic progress, find ways to connect them to their campus and engage with their families as partners in their child's education. We would LOVE for you to be a Check & Connect Mentor! Sign up for a Check & Connect Mentor Training in either June or July, complete a Check & Connect Mentor Interest Form and prepare to make a difference in the life of a student in Vail! This is truly where our Vail Motto shines "Where Education is a Community Effort!" The 22/23 school year was Cienega's first year as part of this program and it was an absolute incredible experience and we are so excited to continue growing in the years to come. If you have any questions about the Check & Connect Mentoring Program, please feel free to contact Ginny Graves at gravesv@vailschooldistrict.org or 520-879-2073. We look forward to partnering with you soon!

Cienega is the first and only school in the Vail School District to have an AVID program, which was created on campus in 2020. “Advancement via Individual Determination” is a nationwide, well-loved program known for giving students opportunities to visit colleges, learn about careers, and perfect their study and life skills. Just this school year, our AVID kids have been able to visit Pima Community College, Grand Canyon University, Arizona State University, and the University of Arizona! AVID students spend all four years of high school in the program and build a second family and lifelong friends. If your family is interested in your child joining next year, please email Mrs. Elias at eliass@vailschooldistrict.org!
