Skytober Fest 2014

This Fall, Sky Islands High School kicked off its first annual Skytober Fest fundraising event! Food was provided by Zona 78, No Reply played classic 60’s and 70’s rock-and-roll hits, and Edible Baja Arizona‘s Jared McKinley and Katy Gierlach emceed the event. There were raffles for door prizes, a silent and a live auction, and lots of fun!

Sky Islands would like to thank our sponsors that made this event possible: Zona 78, Kathy Fink and Associates, Vantage West Credit Union, Arbico Organics, Thoroughbred Nissan, The Fairfax Companies, Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort, The Loft Cinema, Tucson Automotive, the Fox Theatre, Borderlands Brewing Co., and Sun Sprout Diaper Service.

Sky Islands is amazing because the curriculum is unlike anywhere else. It is a community that is always changing, and everyone is friendly. The teachers here are the best teachers I have had in my entire student career. I now look at the world differently than others.

I feel that the school’s messages they communicate to the students are really eye-opening, from the food we eat to the advertisements shaping us, and that we as a community can change this. I’m happy to know I’m graduating as an individual rather than a teenager clone, which would be the case at other schools.

When I first came to Sky Islands, I felt it was kind of weird because I wasn’t used to the whole idea of a school being a community, but more and more I came to the realization that this is how school should be.

Community is a huge part of Sky Islands. This school has amazing teachers, they are all fantastic, and they have taught me so much. I used to hate math more than anything because I never understood it. Now it is my favorite subject.

Sky Islands is a great place to be! Everyone is welcoming and everybody knows each other at our school. Throughout the year, we work on projects in and outside the classroom. We also learn about so many interesting topics that you don't learn about at other public schools.

My daughter graduated from Sky Islands in 2020. She studied there for 4 years of High School and it was the best decision we ever made. The curriculum there allowed her to broadened her mind and approach to more greenery and sciences. She started out very shy and and introvert and graduated more outgoing and she really bloomed at High School there. I would always refer my friends to have their students attend high school for the simple fact that they will get the education needed to go to college plus special treatment and care for each and every student.
