Our Mission

Our mission is to design new models for educational success and raise academic achievement for all learners. At ASU Prep that means personalizing project-based learning to help students gain valuable critical thinking skills.

In addition to our standard college-preparatory curriculum, our goal is for students in high school to begin taking ASU courses freshman year, and graduate with at least 15 credits. ASU Prep covers the cost of these courses so families don’t have to! Learn more about how students Prep for College here.

Principal Welcome Message

Welcome to ASU Prep South Phoenix

Patrick Gibbs, principal of ASU Preparatory South Phoenix Middle/High School, is a passionate educator and dedicated leader who believes in nurturing futures with purpose and passion to empower lifelong excellence in his students. Mr. Gibbs graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and another in Special Education. He furthered his academic journey by obtaining a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and is currently pursuing an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, exemplifying his commitment to continuous growth and learning. With an unwavering commitment to educational excellence, Patrick’s professional goal centers around a comprehensive approach to school leadership. He aims to enhance academic achievement, fortify college and career readiness, foster a safe and positive school environment, drive robust teacher development, and elevate family and community engagement. His leadership philosophy thrives on collaboration, emphasizing a solid partnership between teachers and families to create a holistic learning experience for students.

At ASU Prep, his innovative spirit was recognized by Dr. Michael Crow as he was awarded the “President’s Award for Innovation.” This recognition was a tribute to Patrick’s instrumental role in the ASU Clean Indoor Air Project. By pioneering the use of DIY air filters (Corsi-Rosenthal boxes), he collaborated with Dr. Jehn at ASU College of Health Solutions to create an environment that removed harmful pollutants, including viruses, from the air, fostering a healthier school atmosphere.
