Fillmore Future

An Important Update on the Future of ASU Prep Phoenix

The Phoenix Elementary School District (PESD) Board recently made a significant decision to notify ASU of their intention not to renew the lease for ASU Prep Phoenix’s location at 7th Street and Fillmore when it expires in June 2026. This decision, which affects 1,200 students and their families, was made with no notice and limited opportunity for public input. 

ASU Prep Phoenix serves an essential need in the community, providing families with access to quality educational opportunities that support high school completion and college readiness. For over 150 years, Phoenix Elementary has been a steward of educational excellence, and ASU Prep Academy has proudly partnered in that mission. Together, we share a vision of putting students first and ensuring that their educational needs remain a top priority.

We believe it is vital for both PESD and ASU to continue open, collaborative discussions to find a long-term solution that serves the best interests of students and families. Our commitment is unwavering—we will do everything possible to ensure that the voices of our students, families, and community are heard, and that decisions are made with transparency and the shared goal of supporting the success of every student.

What can I do to support ASU Prep?

It is vitally important that the Governing Board and leadership of the Phoenix Elementary School District continue to hear from you that their rushed and covert process is unfair, and what ASU Prep means for you and your family.

Actions you can take to help:

  • Attend the next meeting of PESD’s Governing Board on Tuesday, January 21st at 5:15pm and speak in support of the district continuing conversations to keep ASU Prep at the Fillmore location. 
    • The meeting is held at PESD’s district office at 1817 N 7th St. 
    • Arrive no later than 4:45pm to sign up to make a public comment. 
    • The meetings can be long, so eat prior and/or bring snacks! 
  • Email your comments about why ASU Prep matters for your family and the importance of hearing community voices to CommunityRelations@PhxSchools.org with the subject “Community Communication”, to be read aloud at the board meeting.  
  • Call the PESD District Office to voice your comments at 602-257-2912.
  • Reach out to the Governing Board members on social media to express your support of the district continuing conversations.
