Welcome to Desert Star

  • Desert Star School first opened its doors to students in the Avondale Elementary School District in 2002.  Since that time, our campus has grown to a preschool through 8th grade campus.  Our school vision is "thinking, learning, growing . . . empowering students who shape tomorrow".  We work as a community to provide every child learning experiences and opportunities so that they can reach their greatest potential.  

    Desert Star is proud to be a Leader in Me School. Leader in Me is a whole-school improvement process based on the idea that everyone can be a leader. This evidence-based approach empowers students with the leadership and life-skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. To learn more about the model, click here.

    We truly believe that all children are capable of success, no exceptions!
