Cortina opened its doors in August 2006 as the seventh school to join the Higley Unified School Ditsrict.  Home of the Tigers, it was built as a community school to service the educational needs of families living in the Cortina and Sossaman Estates communities.  From opening day to the present, Cortina has always committed to hiring quality staff members to meet the educational needs of every student.  Each staff member actively embraces the school’s vision and mission:
