In just 8 weeks, nearly 135,000 meals were served to more than 9,600 children.

Through a partnership between Scottsdale Community College and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, SUSD’s Summer Meal Program was a success.

Each week, SCC’s parking lot transformed into a drive-thru where families picked up free, nutritious meals.

Congratulations to Scottsdale Online Learning’s Jordan Sucato for being named Student of the Month by the Arizona Board of Education!

Jordan is the founder of Laws for Paws LLC, a youth-led nonprofit that raises awareness about the malpractice and mistreatment of animals nationwide. Last year, her organization raised $18,000 for animal welfare in Maricopa County.

She also authored legislation to ban the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in Arizona, partnering with Senator John Kavanagh and the Animal Defense League to bring the bill to life.

Jordan is also a recipient of PETA’s Hero to Animals Award!

We’re proud to recognize Stacey Pasquel for her dedication to the support and growth of all Scottsdale Unified School District educators .

Because of Stacey’s leadership and forward-thinking approach, we are also proud to debut SUSD’s very own Professional Learning Library.

We’re proud to celebrate Michelle Irvin for her exceptional leadership in making Leaderpalooza 2025 a huge success!
