• Where is the new school and when will it open?


    • The 55-acre campus of Goodyear High School, home to the Mavericks, will be located in Goodyear, on the northwest corner of Cotton Lane and Van Buren.

    • The school is scheduled to open in phases due to limited funding. Phase one is planned to open to freshmen students in Fall 2025; the initial school capacity is 450 freshmen students. Each year we will add a new freshmen class until we have all four grade levels in attendance. At build-out, the campus will accommodate approximately 2000 high school students.

    • Thank you voters, for approving the bond in November 2023!  These funds have helped support the construction of the Goodyear High School campus. 


    • What are the boundaries of the new high school and how will nearby high schools be affected?

    • Construction of the new high school will help alleviate the overcrowding at our nearby high schools and support increased enrollment caused by the rapid residential growth in the area.

    • New boundaries were established at the Board Meeting on December 3,2024. You can use the School Locator tool on the District Boundaries Page to identify the schools assigned to your address.


    • When will enrollment for the new school begin?

    • Enrollment for the new high school will begin in mid-January 2025 for the 2025-26 school year. Enrollment will be for incoming freshmen from the Class of 2029 only. 

    • As an open-enrollment district, students are welcome to attend the new high school regardless of their home address. The Open Enrollment Application is available from December 16, 2024 to January 24, 2025.

    • When will the new high school be entirely constructed and additional students accepted?

    • Because the 2023 bond passed, the district is now able to start the first phases of building High School #6. The entire campus will be built in two or three years. As the construction progresses, a new freshman class will be added each school year. 


    • What will phase one of the new high school include and when will construction begin?

    • The campus will include all of the traditional elements of a high school, such as classrooms, sports fields, theater, cafeteria, gym, football stadium, library, and parking lots. However, the facilities will initially be built to accommodate around 450 students. As bond funds are dispersed, the campus footprint will be expanded to accommodate additional students and programs. Construction of Phase One is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2024 and conclude in July 2025.


    • What will the new school look like?

    • The new high school will be developed in collaboration with the community. The community’s input is valuable, and we appreciate everyone who contributed to our design survey, which was held in the Fall of 2023. We thank you for your support in helping us decide on the official school colors, mascot, name, etc.

    • What type of educational offerings will the new high school provide?

    • The new high school will provide a robust, tailored academic experience that will prepare students for the future of their choosing, whether it is going to college or trade school, running their own business or working for someone, joining a branch of the military or in service to others. Through innovation, options, and flexibility, every student will have academic freedom in choosing a path to success.
