About AJHS

About Us

Welcome to Apache Junction High School!

Since 1956, we've been proud to serve the students and families of Apache Junction and the surrounding communities. What started as a small-town school has grown into a place where students learn, grow, and prepare for bright futures, all while staying rooted in a strong sense of community.

Today, we’re still the only high school in the Apache Junction Unified School District, welcoming around 900 students from Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, and Queen Valley. Our teachers and staff are passionate about helping students succeed, in the classroom, on the field, on stage, and beyond.

We’re more than just a school, we’re a place where students find their path, build lasting friendships, and create memories that stick with them for life. Whether it's academics, arts, athletics, or clubs, there's something here for everyone.

Thanks for stopping by. We’re glad you’re here!

Our Mission Statement & Vision

At AJHS, we believe in helping our students grow into their best selves by focusing on Growth, Relationships, Integrity, and Trust, what we call GRIT. It’s more than just a motto; it’s how we support and guide each student every day. With GRIT at the heart of what we do, we’re preparing our Prospectors not just for college and careers, but for life in a fast-changing, connected world.
