Learn More About Cortina Elementary
Cortina Elementary is a community school in the Higley Unified School District serving neighborhood kindergarten through sixth grade students.
Our classrooms provide each and every child the opportunity to learn and grow in a challenging and supportive environment. We make learning relevant and fun through discovery science, current events, hands-on mathematics and engaging students in rich literature and text. Additionally, we provide a well-rounded curriculum of physical education, art, technology, and music. We offer a full menu of athletics, arts, and school-sponsored clubs and organizations to meet the needs and interests of each student.

If your child will be 5 years of age between September 1 and December 31 of that school year, you may consider having your child tested to see if he/she will qualify for early kindergarten entrance.
