why Choose Tolleson ESD?

We believe in all children—without exception. With an unrelenting focus on relevant, rigorous, and data-driven instruction, your child will have access to a first-class education delivered by experienced and caring teachers.

    Support Services and Programs

    We recognize that education is about more than simply academics. We have developed support services and programs focused on the happiness and safety of our students because we want every child to be ready to learn and feel safe socially, emotionally, and physically in our schools. When these fundamental needs are met, children can learn to their fullest potential.

    • Academically

    We Believe

    Hope frames our entire school culture and is woven into our very DNA. We believe children succeed when they are surrounded by adults who believe they can succeed.

      We Connect

      Children succeed when they have meaningful, sustainable relationships with caring adults. We ensure that every student has a meaningful relationship with at least one Treasure Hunter on campus.

        We Are Treasure Hunters

        We are always searching for all the talents, skills, and intelligence that exist in all children.

          Visualize Their Future

          Kids succeed when they can articulate their future. We teach children to visualize their future and create a plan to make that vision a reality.

          Awards
