Mission

The mission of Holbrook Unified School District is to Help Unique Students Develop (HUSD) with emphasis on Personal, Academic, and Social Success (PASS).

Diversity

We celebrate diversity in Holbrook Unified School District and see it as one of our many strengths. Our district consists of approximately 62% Native American, 18% Latino, 17% Caucasian, and 3% other races. We truly are the melting pot of America and find that all our populations thrive in our system.

Success

Meeting the needs of our unique student population requires teaching staff of the highest caliber. We invest heavily in our human resources through salary, benefits, and resources. In exchange we set high expectations and demands on our teachers. This drives our success as a district.

Technology

We are preparing students for the 21st century workforce and commit resources to this cause. Every classroom is equipped with smart boards, voice amplification systems, and document cameras. Students have access to Chromebooks, laptops, or other computing devices in the classroom.

Our Native American graduation rate EXCEEDS the state average by more than 20%

Make a Connection

Meet one of our current teachers, who not so long ago, was in the same boat as you. Jeremy moved to Holbrook from out-of-state to tackle his first year of teaching.

Jeremy Madison

Jeremy graduated Corban College in 2013 certified to teach math and business. For two years he sought opportunities to teach in Oregon and found the market over-saturated. "I'd go to the teacher job fairs and see the long lines and teachers waiting sometimes for hours to be seen by recruiters." It was at a job fair that he called his wife, then girlfriend, Gretchen and asked if she'd be willing to move out of state. After speaking with Holbrook Unified School District recruiters he applied to teach business at Holbrook High School. "I interviewed over Skype and afterwards they asked me if I'd be willing to fly out and check out the town and schools." Jeremy purchased tickets and flew to Flagstaff and made the short drive to Holbrook. "I was sold on the people, everyone was so nice and made me feel so at home." Jeremy continues to teach Business as well as coach Basketball and Golf.
