Welcome to the Internet home of the Copper Canyon High School Aztecs. We’re glad you’re here! CCHS is located in Glendale, Arizona and is part of the Tolleson Union High School District. We believe you will find this site to be an enjoyable and effective communication tool between our school and your home. We are proud of our students and teachers and are happy to share all of the great things going on at school today!

Welcome Aztecs!

Before I greet you to a new and exciting 2011-2012 school year, I want to say thank you. Truly, I offer you my most sincere thanks for a sensational 2010-2011 school year. Granted, we still have a long way to go, but our Aztec students learned and grew at a rate we haven't seen on this campus in years ... if ever.

Our Aztec teachers, parents and community members stepped up to a new and remarkable level of student support. Moreover, our entire school-climate absolutely turned the corner toward becoming a place where everyone can show up, feel safe and accepted, and learn. It is a place where all can aspire and achieve. Because that's what Aztecs do. Aztecs aspire. Aztecs achieve. Once again, I thank you all.

Now moving forward, welcome Aztecs, one and all! Welcome to a new and improved Copper Canyon. You can start to see our metamorphosis from as far as a mile in any direction. We're painted on the inside. We are painted on the outside, and we're bold! Now we look as striking as the changes we have made and our changes to come.

We are purple, teal, and copper. Let's say that again. We are Copper! In addition, we are getting stronger every day. We have added a new Assistant Principal, an Instructional Coach, a Data and Assessment Coach, and a bank of Peer Mentors. We've added to and strengthened our athletics staff. And best of all, we have added twenty new and outstanding members to our faculty -each dedicated to improving the Aztec Student's educational experience. We have also added new technology to classrooms, new classes to the curriculum; nearly every department has been revisited, revised, and refreshed. We are ready. This year, even more than last, all of our Aztecs will aspire, and all will achieve.

With that, I invite you, our Aztec community, to join us. We are driven to make a difference in our childrens' lives, in your childrens' lives, but we need your help. Please get involved in your Aztec's education. Ask them how classes went today. Ask them to explain their homework to you. Praise them when you see them reading for fun. Come to our games, our plays, and our performances. Call us; email us; or, get online and check out your student's classes in real time via our Parent Portal. If we all get excited about education, then they are bound to as well. Everyone in our community is a role model, from parents to teachers to business owners and bus drivers, we all need to model for our Aztecs what it means to aspire and achieve.

Finally, let me say how proud my team and I are to serve this Aztec community. We truly feel we have some of the best kids in the state. As our culture has changed and grown, we have been like proud parents watching our kids growing and changing with it. In what is becoming a rather competitive education system, parents and students have more choices than ever before. We feel honored that you have chosen us.

Always and in all ways…Aztecs Aspire. Aztecs Achieve.

Sincerely,

Alan J. Potts
