Dear Falcon Families,

It is my honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 – 2025 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and enjoyable summer break. I am extremely proud to return to Fountain Hills High as the Principal of this amazing learning community and to continue my work in supporting the students and families of Fountain Hills! With over a decade of experience in school leadership, and having served as the Assistant Principal for the high school a few years ago, I am eager to reinstate myself as a valued part of the Fountain Hills community.

I would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school district or have relocated from another city, state, or country. We are excited to share with you all that Fountain Hills High School has to offer and believe you will soon feel as we do, that Fountain Hills High School is a special place for all students.

At Fountain Hills High School, we will continue to strive for academic excellence and work together to create an environment for our students to perfect their skills as critical thinkers, self-directed learners, collaborative teammates, and responsible citizens.

Our teachers and staff are eager to meet their new students and begin this year’s journey with them. Our dedicated staff have been working tirelessly to finalize classes and schedules, engage in professional learning opportunities, and update our instructional models, class routines, and expectations, all with the goal of fostering academic success and a true sense of connectedness and belonging for our students.

I look forward to the start of the new school year and to continuing our collaboration of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in their children’s educational journey. The staff will prioritize working together as a caring and compassionate learning community with professionalism, teamwork, action, and expertise. We will always put the best interests of our students at the center of our purpose. Please join us in ensuring the success of all students by emphasizing the Falcon Way - accountability, discipline, excellence, integrity, professionalism, respect and responsibility, both in and out of school.

My door is open and our team welcomes your input. Please feel free to make an appointment to discuss any ideas you feel will make this the best year yet!

GO FALCONS!

Barrie Muzbeck Pinto, M.Ed
