Welcome to the DVHS Science Homepage! At Deer Valley we are proud to be in Skyhawk nation and educating our students in multiple science subject areas. We as teachers pride ourselves in molding the young minds of our students and open them up to scientific experiences unlike any other. For example, our biology students can experience an outdoor classroom filled with native Arizona wildlife. Our anatomy students can participate in dissections and get up close and personal with different organ systems. Environmental science students can actually plant different species of plants and then eat their produce! We also offer a variety of dual enrollment courses through Rio Salado college as well as advanced placement courses to help students get ahead in their educational goals.

This page will help guide you in finding your student's individual teacher's websites which will include the following:

    -Syllabus

    -Classroom Calendars/Schedules

    -Contact information

    -Information for logging onto Canvas

Thank you for visiting,
