About Higley Unified School District
Higley Unified’s main physical route moves from one of nine elementary schools into one of two middle schools and then one of two comprehensive high schools. Two early-childhood centers sit before that sequence, while Higley Traditional Academy provides a separate whole-school model inside the same district.
The current High School Online program serves grades nine through twelve. Students may take all six classes online or combine online courses with one to five in-person classes at Higley High or Williams Field High; athletics remain tied to the brick-and-mortar school where the student is enrolled.
An October 29, 2025 district report says the former Higley Virtual Academy learning model transitioned into alternative programs based at each high school. Current pages still use the HVA name, while the two comprehensive high schools now serve as the organizational base for full-time online and hybrid schedules.
