Globe School District

Educators in the Globe Unified School District believe that children should receive a well-rounded, basic education. The world is ever-changing, therefore, education is subject to modification according to youth needs. Children must be able to meet the challenges of the society in which they live, and Globe schools approach this challenge by assuring that each child is offered a sound program in the basic skills regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic status. The quality of education in the Globe school system is dependent upon a competent, professional staff and a philosophy which demands the best of its teachers. Therefore, the Globe Unified School District seeks educators who accept the challenges of the varied and innovative education materials and programs. Since 1882, the public schools of Globe have offered a solid education. (928) 425-3211, www.members.tripod.com/globeschool
