Scottsdale Unified School District

The day is finally here. Parents are rejoicing as the 22 thousand students in the Scottsdale Unified School District head to the first day of school. The District was founded in 1896, by then Mayor- Winfield Scott. Our A+rated school district covers 112 square miles serving most of Scottsdale, most of Paradise Valley and portions of Phoenix and Tempe.  Dr. Scott Menzel is entering his 6th year as Superintendent of the district, but it’s his 24th year overall holding that title. Today, Dr. Menzel is joining me to talk about the new school year.
