Tax Credit Donation

Invest in a Prospector — Support Student Opportunities
Your Arizona Tax Credit donation directly funds athletics, clubs, field trips, and programs that make AJHS more than just a school — it’s a launchpad. Whether it’s band, esports, football, or Academic Decathlon, every dollar helps students compete, create, and belong.

Give today. Keep your tax dollars local.

How it works:
The Arizona Tax Credit lets you choose where a portion of your state tax dollars go — instead of sending it to the state, you can give up to $200 (single) or $400 (married) directly to AJHS programs. It’s a dollar-for-dollar credit, not a deduction, which means you get every penny back on your taxes while helping our students thrive.

Donate Today!

Welcome to Apache Junction High School!

My name is Lisa Ginn, and I am honored to serve as the Principal of AJHS. Working alongside such a dedicated team of educators and a vibrant community of students and families is a privilege. Our community is rich with tradition and strong alumni support, which adds to the pride and spirit that define who we are. At AJHS, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of meaningful learning and lasting success.

Our highly qualified staff is committed to providing every student with a high-quality education in a supportive and inclusive environment. We strive to help students become creative problem-solvers, confident learners, and respectful citizens—ready for whatever path they choose after high school.

At Apache Junction High School, every student matters, and every moment counts. I look forward to a successful year of growth, connection, and celebration.

Welcome to Prospector Country!

Small District, Big Heart, Endless Possibilities.
