Why Tolleson ESD?

Mission
We believe, educate, motivate, and prepare all children.
Vision
Expecting excellence. Inspiring innovation. Achieving greatness. We believe all children are capable of success—No Exceptions!
This Is Tolleson ESD
The heart of Tolleson ESD is our incredible community of students, educators, and leaders. Their dedication has built a legacy of excellence—and we are just getting started.
From local honors to state recognition, we are proud of what we have achieved—because behind every award is a child whose life is better because someone believed in them.
This is what education should feel like.
This is Tolleson Elementary School District.

More Than a School District—We Are a Community That Cares
At Tolleson Elementary School District, we believe learning only happens when students feel safe, seen, and supported. That is why we have built a district that prioritizes the whole child—not just academically, but emotionally, physically, and socially too.
We know that today’s families are looking for more than test scores—they want meaningful experiences, strong support systems, and a school that feels like an extension of home. That is what we offer.

Our Beliefs Guide Everything We Do
We Believe in Hope
Hope is the heartbeat of our district. It shapes our culture and fuels our belief that every child can succeed—with the right support and the right people cheering them on.
We Build Real Connections
Every student deserves at least one adult who truly gets them. That is why we make sure every child has a meaningful relationship with a trusted mentor—a “Treasure Hunter”—on campus.
We See Every Child’s Potential
At Tolleson ESD, we call our students' treasures.
We look beyond grades and test scores. We see the creativity, intelligence, and passion in every treasure and help them shine in their own way.
We Help Students Visualize Their Future
We empower students to dream big—and we give them the tools to make those dreams a reality. From college to career, we help them see what is possible.
