School District

The Edgemont School District's FOCUS FORWARD goal states: As we prepare our students for life in a rapidly changing, interconnected world, we will design learning opportunities that engage students in deep understandings of themselves, others and the complex and evolving landscape around them. We will achieve this goal through specific action plans based on the three components of: Understanding of self, Understanding of others and Connecting learning to life. A recently-approved bond measure will support the construction of new spaces and renovation of existing ones on all three campus during the coming years.
