Welcome

Celebrating 100 Years of Excellence in Education

From Dan Streeter, Ed.D., Superintendent

As the community’s K–12 school district, the Marana Unified School District (MUSD) is proud to employ more than 2,000 dedicated teachers and staff serving 13,000 students across 20 campuses. As our community grows, so does MUSD. Our district is home to community preschools and Play & Learn (PAL) Preschool, 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 K–8 schools, and 4 high schools.

This year, MUSD proudly celebrates 100 years of serving Marana and Northwest Tucson, a remarkable milestone that reflects a century of commitment to education, growth, and community partnership. Throughout our history, we have remained dedicated to helping students become lifelong learners and engaged citizens who contribute to a stronger community.

The 2025 Education Recovery Scorecard ranked MUSD in the top 1% of Arizona districts for academic growth, with students performing above 2019 levels in reading and math. MUSD is one of only four districts statewide – out of 230 – to show higher student achievement today than before the pandemic. This success reflects our focus on continuous improvement, teamwork, and high standards across every school, which have also led to stronger school letter grades from the Arizona Department of Education.

Literacy remains a cornerstone of student success and a major focus across our classrooms. Learning to read allows students to explore, question, and understand their world. We have strengthened our literacy programs by expanding instructional time, refining and standardizing curriculum, and creating more opportunities for students to read and grow.

At the high school level, our students continue to achieve at exceptional levels. Last year, our students earned almost 500 industry certifications through Career and Technical Education programs, demonstrating their readiness for success in today’s workforce. MUSD students also excel in academics, the arts, and athletics, earning superior ratings, awards, and recognition across a wide range of programs and competitions. We have alumni nationwide continuing their education at institutions across the country, including our state universities, Yale University, New York University, the U.S. Naval Academy, Cornell University, and many more.

As we honor the accomplishments of the past 100 years, we look ahead to the next century with confidence and purpose. The future of MUSD is bright and will be built through the continued partnership of our students, families, teachers, staff, and community. Together, we remain focused on empowering every student to achieve excellence, contribute meaningfully, and shape a bright future for our community. Thank you for your continued support!
