Today the Verde Tech campus came together for an incredible celebration of learning and hard work. Students enjoyed barbecued chicken and barbecued guinea fowl raised and processed by our own agriculture students, along with fresh lettuce they grew and harvested from The Farm at Bent River.
We’re so proud of our students’ dedication from farm to table!


Somewhere on the highway between Phoenix and Cottonwood, a very large surprise is making its way to the Science Vortex.
Thanks to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, we are becoming the proud new caretakers of… well… let’s just say it has wings. Or had wings.
Stay curious, Cottonwood.
Our campus is extra festive this year thanks to the turkeys our students have been raising as part of their hands-on agriculture program.
We’re grateful for our hardworking students, dedicated staff, and supportive community that makes Verde Tech such a special place to learn and grow. Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and wonderful Thanksgiving!
