Pajama Day!

Dear Antelope Families and Students,
We are excited to share more great news about Antelope Union High School’s continued partnership with Arizona Western College (AWC) and the growing opportunities available to our students through dual enrollment.
AWC has generously provided our dual-enrollment students with a scholarship that will cover full tuition for one AWC dual enrollment course each semester, for a maximum of two dual enrollment courses during the school year.
This is an especially meaningful benefit because AWC already makes dual enrollment extremely affordable at just $30 per credit hour. With this scholarship opportunity, eligible Antelope students can receive an even greater financial benefit while earning college credit before graduating from high school.
This opportunity comes at an exciting time for Antelope. Nearly 40% of our student body is currently enrolled in dual enrollment courses, our highest participation level in more than a decade. We are also excited to continue expanding access to these opportunities for sophomores, juniors, and seniors, allowing even more students to begin earning college credit while still attending Antelope.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to AWC President Dr. Reetika Dhawan for coordinating with Superintendent Michael Deiana to help make this opportunity possible. Dr. Dhawan and Superintendent Deiana were both members of the 2022 Flinn-Brown Fellowship cohort, and this collaboration is a wonderful example of the strength of the Flinn-Brown network and the opportunities that can be created when Arizona leaders work together on behalf of students.
We are incredibly grateful to Arizona Western College for its continued investment in Antelope students and in the future of rural Arizona. Partnerships like this help us remove financial barriers, expand access to higher education, and provide our students with more opportunities to graduate prepared for college, career, and life.
Thank you, AWC, for continuing to support our students!

🎉 MORE GREAT NEWS FOR ANTELOPE! 🎉
We are incredibly excited to share another update showing the continued academic growth of our Rams!
ACT recently issued an ERRATA Notice and recalculated ACT scores nationwide. With those corrections, Antelope Union High School’s SY2025–2026 results improved even further!
📚 English: 21% passing — 10 of 47 students, including 2 Highly Proficient
➗ Math: 17% passing — 8 of 47 students, including 1 Highly Proficient
🔬 Science: 26% passing — 12 of 47 students, including 2 Highly Proficient
📈 Overall: 19% passing — 9 of 47 students met the overall benchmark
That means our corrected scores increased another 4 percentage points in English, 4 points in Math, and 5 points in Science!
And when we look at where we have come from, the growth is even more exciting:
🔵 Five years ago, only 4 students met the English benchmark. This year: 10 students.
🔴 Five years ago, 4 students met the Math benchmark. This year: 8 students.
🔵 Five years ago, 6 students met the Science benchmark. This year: 12 students.
🔴 Our Science pass rate has grown from 12% to 26%.
Our overall ACT passing rate has also continued to climb:
2021–2022: 10%
2022–2023: 5%
2023–2024: 7%
2024–2025: 13%
⭐ 2025–2026: 19%
For additional perspective, Yuma Union High School District’s overall 2024–2025 rates were 26% in English and 14% in Math. Antelope is now at 21% in English and 17% in Math — meaning our Rams have surpassed their prior-year districtwide Math rate and are within five percentage points in English.
And we have only just begun.
These numbers represent much more than test scores. They represent students working harder, teachers raising expectations, families supporting their children, and an entire school community believing that Antelope students are capable of achieving at a higher level.
We still have work to do — and we are excited about that work. We are continuing to strengthen curriculum, increase rigor, expand intervention and enrichment, improve instruction, and create more opportunities for every student who walks through our doors.
We are so proud of our students and grateful for the teachers, staff, families, and community members who continue to move Antelope forward.
The progress is real. The momentum is building. And the best is still ahead.
💙❤️ ONWARD AND UPWARD!

Hello Antelope Families,
Based on recent enrollment changes and feedback we have received from parents and families, we have made several updates to our bus routes and transportation schedule for the 2026–2027 school year.
The updated bus routes and schedule will take effect beginning Monday, August 10, 2026.
Our goal is to make transportation as efficient and accessible as possible while continuing to meet the needs of students throughout our large service area. We greatly appreciate the feedback families have provided as we have worked to adjust and finalize these routes.
The updated schedule includes four routes serving Wellton; Dome Valley, Wellton Hills, and Coyote Wash; Roll, Texas Hill, Tacna, and Citrus City; and Hyder and Dateland.
Please carefully review the attached updated schedule for your student’s bus stop and pickup time, including the separate Monday pickup times. Because routes and times have changed, we ask all families who utilize district transportation to review the new schedule before Monday morning.
As always, bus pickup times are approximate, and we encourage students to be at their designated stop a few minutes early.
Thank you to our families for your patience, communication, and feedback as we continue working to improve transportation services for our students. We appreciate your partnership and your willingness to work with us as enrollment and transportation needs change throughout our district.
If you have any questions or need assistance determining your student’s route or stop, please contact the Antelope Union High School Front Office at (928) 785-3344 or frontoffice@antelopeunion.org.
