Full Story

PRESCOTT - The heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic at the Four-Points intersection in Prescott faces some stiff competition: more than 46,000 vehicles that use the corner every day.

Flanked as it is by an elementary school, a hospital, and a business, the intersection gets plenty of action from a variety of transportation modes.

But spend a little time standing at the corner, and it is readily apparent that walkers and cyclists are at a bit of a disadvantage.

Case in point: Pedestrians regularly trot part of the way to make it across the wide roadway during the traffic signal’s allotted “walk” time; and bicyclists often use the sidewalks, in the absence of bike lanes.

Statement of Philosophy

Our American public school system was founded to maintain and further develop the American way of life. Hence, education is participation in and preparation for complete living in our system of government. Education is a privilege, a right, and a responsibility. The development of the individual to his/her full potential must always be a major purpose of our public system of education. The Prescott Unified School District has been a recognized leader in public education in the State of Arizona and it is our firm intention that we will continue to lead insofar as possible in student achievement and other education endeavors. Sound and innovative practices will be encouraged and implemented. We believe that the communication of events happening in our schools must be proclaimed through an on-going effort involving students, parents, staff, and the community, and we will work diligently towards that objective.
