District Updates
Welcome Dr. Dani Portillo, Roosevelt's new superintendent
We are excited to announce that the Governing Board selected Dr. Danelia Portillo to be the next Superintendent of the Roosevelt School District. Dr. Portillo has served as the Executive Director of Teaching and Learning for over three years, where her division helped elevate Roosevelt schools' letter grades to B’s and C’s from D’s and F’s through the implementation of new and viable curriculum in all areas.
Dr. Portillo began her superintendency on Monday, Feb. 6. We offer sincere and heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Shenell Alexander and Mrs. Megan Gestson who served as Co-Interim Superintendents during the search process. We look forward to continuing to thrive as a district under Dr. Portillo's leadership.
The Arizona Teacher Residency is a first-of-its-kind graduate program in Arizona modeled after medical residencies, to help recruit, prepare, support and retain K-12 teachers. Nominations for mentor teachers are now being accepted.
Education is just the beginning at Roosevelt School District No. 66 (RSD No. 66). Our neighborhood schools, small class sizes and innovative curriculum are just a few of the reasons our students receive the best. Learn more about our schools and how to enroll.
