For 15 years, In&Out Magazine has been the definitive source of “Everything that’s going on” in and out of the community. We thank you, our readers, as well as the businesses that support the magazine through advertising, for that opportunity. But with little going on, and many businesses suspending or canceling their ads during the Covid-19 crisis, we are suspending publication of the magazine and web sites for the month of May.

We believe all students can learn and achieve academic and social success. We take responsibility for creating an enriched educational environment emphasizing students’ academic learning, while advancing positive self-concepts.
Desert Studies Academy Focuses on the Sonoran Desert and surrounding areas. Students participate in an “outdoor desert habitat classroom” that includes a cactus garden, reptile habitat, and nature trails. The program offers an integrated curriculum and project-based learning experience encompassing technology and global ideas, with hands-on activities that include special hikes, nature trails, and tours.
