 Welcome to the new Web site of Saddle Mountain Unified School District. We are located in Tonopah, Arizona, west of the White Tank Mountains. We are a small but growing community, serving students in more than 500 square miles in Tonopah and Buckeye. Our dedicated staff and faculty members serve about 1,500 students in three elementary schools and one high school. Our newest school, Tartesso Elementary, opened this year and more plans for growth are on the horizon. We are constantly pursuing the best in education and implementing strategies and curriculum that will provide the best learning environment for our students. Please take some time to visit our new Web site. Meet our Governing Board, keep up-to-date with district events on our news page or event calendar, find out about job postings, or get to know our schools. We also have some helpful Web resources.  Welcome to Saddle Mountain Unified School District. As the recently appointed Superintendent, I am privileged to serve the Saddle Mountain Unified School District in the most important endeavors; that of educating children. Please join me in my mission to prepare all students for success in the 21st Century. Together, we will meet and even exceed our goals through the collective commitment of students, staff, parents, and our Governing Board members. We are about high student achievement, quality personnel, effective use of resources, and parental pride. Within our safe and orderly campuses, we hold high expectations for all students and we expect them to learn the skills to become productive, responsible, and successful citizens. Our goal is to empower students to develop a love of learning that will continue to benefit them throughout their lives. We are accountable for meeting the educational needs of our community’s children and we hold this responsibility in the highest regard. Sincerely,
Mark H. Joraanstad |
