Our District
Heber-Overgaard remains a tranquil mountain community of about 2,700 year-round residents. Just over two hours from Phoenix, Heber-Overgaard retains a small-town feel and cohesive feeling of community.
Our students regularly score at or above the state average on standardized assessments, which is a testament to our exceptional teaching staff, our hard-working students, and our dedicated families and community members. We have programs in place and resources available to help our students become 21st century learners and leaders.
