Superintendent's Message

Dr. Robert Varner

I want to welcome everyone to the Gila bend Unified School District website. The Gila Bend School District has a long and proud tradition. As our school district and community grow, we are committed to preserving the small school atmosphere where students and families are known by staff and treated with respect, as well as providing educational experiences in which the entire family can proud. 

Our professional and dedicated staff are committed to our students, families and community as well as providing the best education experience possible for our students. Their commitment will help give all our students a foundation for success during these important school years and beyond.

Gila Bend School District strives to provide all students with the rigor necessary to meet the challenges at the next level of their education. At the same time, it is our goal to provide an educational experience that meets the academic, social, and emotional needs of students. Our strategic vision wants our students continue to be successful at the local, state, and national level within four-year universities, community colleges, trade schools, the armed services, and the workforce.

Thank you for taking time to explore our website and learn more about the academic and extracurricular programs we offer in the Gila Bend Unified School District. I encourage you to become familiar with this site, and to use it often to retrieve information about our district.

A strong partnership between home and school will help to provide our students with the education that they deserve. Thank you to parents and the community for partnering with us so that the students who are learning today become the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we can make a difference in every child that attends here.
