Since Mr. Utter's arrival at DVMS in 2023, the school has rebounded from a D grade to coming within a fraction of a percentage point of a B for the 2024-25 assessment. Good luck to all the DVMS students and staff as the school strives to continue to improve!

Congratulations to principal Ray Utter, and the students and staff at @DVUSD_DVMS on earning the @azedschools Copper Apple Award for consistent improvement in student achievement.

Lexi Snyder was living the dream as the editor-in-chief of the O'Connor yearbook in her senior year, until COVID-19 derailed the class of 2020's plans. But she worked through the adversity and uncertainty of the times to stay focused on living her dream as an architect.

Spring break is around the corner, and it's going to be a little toasty in Phoenix next week. So we asked our @DvusdA student-athletes if they'd rather escape to a cabin in the mountains or a bungalow on the beach. youtu.be/n5aUSbueK6w
