Last week, our Law & Public Safety students had a special visit from Mac, an Electronic Detection Dog who plays a vital role in law enforcement. 🐶💼
Mac helps locate child abuse materials and also serves as an emotional support dog for child victims — an incredible example of how technology and compassion come together in public safety careers.
This hands-on experience gave our students valuable insight into the many career paths within Law Enforcement and the impact they can have in protecting and supporting their communities. 💙👮♀️

This past Friday, we had 10 teachers out attending CTE professional development and several staff members supporting our Phoenix athletes at away games. Thanks to 10 incredible substitutes, we were able to keep classes covered and protect our teachers’ prep time. 🙌
We were lucky to catch six of them in these photos before they headed out to enjoy their weekend — thank you for stepping up and keeping our campus running strong! 🖤❤️
The Saddle Mountain Unified School District is always welcoming new substitute teachers!
