Principal's Message

Dear Desert Star Community,

  • Welcome to Desert Star School - home of the Scorpions! I am excited to be a member of a school community where we strive to build thinkers, problem solvers and communicators to empower our students to shape tomorrow.

    The Desert Star scorpions are on a journey to academic excellence by providing a culture of academic and social-emotional growth, which is the result of a collaborative partnership between the staff, parents, and our community. 

    I look forward to collaborating with all members of our school community to build strong relationships to move our school towards excellence!

    With respect,


    Mr. Ryan Vaughn, DS Proud Principal
