Unstoppable Spirit
We strategically and relentlessly ignite learners to develop the knowledge and skills to responsibly lead the Aurora Hills community to think globally and act locally.
Aurora Hills is a vibrant and forward thinking 6th-8th grade middle school where students find their best selves, both academically and socially.
Our staff works in partnership with students to ensure the learning experience is integrated and personalized. Every student accelerates their learning and understands their connection to the local and global community.
Welcome to Aurora Hills. I am excited to lead this energetic campus. We are a reflection of the community around us — motivated and determined. We build on students' intrinsic strengths to ignite their desire to learn. Diversity is our great advantage. Together, we learn to appreciate multiple view points and celebrate global cultures.

Together We Reach New Heights
Times are changing and education must change with them. We are committed to continuing to apply the latest innovations to our curriculum. We are the first school in the APS system to adopt a flex schedule. This innovation allows us to offer students more electives than any school in the system, which means students are exposed to a greater breath of experiences. The flex schedule also allows us to commit more time to continuing education for our teachers without sacrificing time spent with students. This means Aurora Hills students have teachers with more training and credentials than any other middle school in the system.
Come and visit our beautiful campus and experience Aurora Hills for yourself.
