The Ash Fork Lady Spartans make history again' The Lady Spartans defeated the Mayer Lady Wildcats on Wednesday, in the first round of the 1A Central Region Tournament, 58-19. The win put the Lady Spartans into the semifinals on Friday vs the Williams Lady Vikings. This was a great game and they won 47-26. This win put them against the Joseph City Lady Wildcats in the championship game. This is the first time Ash Fork has made it to the Regional Finals for girl's basketball. During the regular season the Lady Spartans lost to the Lady Wildcats by 20 points and 24 points. Coach Martin told the girls before the game that they have nothing to lose! So go out and play hard. That is what they did. For the first two quarters the Lady Spartans never trailed. They led at half time 27-23. The Lady Spartans continued to fight hard, but the Joseph City Wildcats ended the third quarter in the lead 43-34. The Lady Wildcats buried a lot of three pointers, and the Lady Spartans got cold. It was a great game and even though the Lady Spartans got runners-up, it was a good sign of what they plan to bring to the State 1A Playoffs. They will host their first round vs the winner of Valley Union and Great Heart Anthem on Monday, February 16 @ 7 PM. Good Luck Lady Spartans!

​As we head into the winter break, we wanted to share a heartwarming story that truly captures the spirit of our school community.
​Middle school is often a time of big transitions, and our 8th-grade promoting class recognized that their peers needed a moment to simply "unwind" and feel appreciated. Rather than focusing only on their own final year, these students have been meeting every Monday morning before school to plan something selfless.
​Following a fantastic Q2 Team-building event organized by Ms. Broehm, the 8th graders revealed their surprise: a holiday gift for every single student in the school. The energy in the room was moving—seeing the "seniors" of our building look out for the 6th and 7th graders with such kindness was a proud moment for all of us.
​We are so proud of the legacy of empathy and leadership this class is building. They’ve shown us all that a little bit of planning and a lot of heart can change the culture of a school.
​Happy Holidays!

Dreaming of Summer Melt and Sugarplums 🧚 💜 ❄️

Summer Melt at Ash Fork High School is a post-graduation support program designed to help graduates successfully transition into their postsecondary plans, including college, trade school, military service, workforce entry, or other pathways. While the program has existed intermittently in the past—with the most recent prior iteration ending in 2020—it was reestablished in 2023 and continues to evolve.

Data from recent graduating classes highlights trends in student outcomes. The Classes of 2024 and 2025 showed the highest participation in continuing education, followed by workforce entry, with smaller numbers pursuing military service or remaining undecided. Looking at the proposed post-graduation plans for the Class of 2026, continuing education again represents the largest group, with notable participation in workforce and military pathways.

The current group also stands out for its strong enrollment in Yavapai/MiCTED programs, particularly among students entering the workforce—many of whom are already earning degrees or certifications while still in high school.

Overall, the outlook for Summer Melt is optimistic. Through ongoing relationship-building, targeted student support, and collaboration with the advising team, the program is positioned to remain a meaningful and effective resource for supporting Spartan graduates in the years ahead.

🌟 Celebrating 15 Years of Partnership! 🌟

Last night we had the honor of welcoming representatives from the Vail School District as we celebrated 15 years of working together through the Beyond Textbooks program.

Justin Chesebrough joined us to share Vail’s journey with BT, highlight the impact it has had across districts, and present Ash Fork with a beautiful plaque recognizing our continued commitment to improving teaching and learning.

We are incredibly grateful for this long-standing partnership — one built on collaboration, shared goals, and a whole lot of heart. Here's to many more years of growing beyond the textbook together! 💙📘

Governing Board Announcement
The Ash Fork Lady Spartans made history this past weekend! While participating in the 28th Annual Coach EAB Rte. 66 tournament the girls won 5 of their 6 games. They defeated Bagdad, Basis of Flagstaff, San Pasqual, Seligman and Williams. They lost in the Championship game to Rock Point, by a score of 41-32. It was a hard fought game and the Lady Spartans played well and strong. The starting five: Isabella Acosta, Aura Mendez, Crystal Nixon, Andrea Vazquez and Gracie Staples, all played well and their defense was exceptional! Arlette Sotelo and Sol Ayala stepped in as substitutes and did a magnificent job. Throughout the weekend, all of the players from the bench also stepped in and played very strong. Currently the Lady Spartans are 9-1 . The varsity boys won 2 of their 5 games. They defeated Basis and Seligman. These group of young men really improved on their defense and team play. The starting five (Miclo Ayala, Jesus Ayala, Victor Ayala, Jhovanny Vazquez, and Brian Purser) worked well as a team and they never stop playing hard no matter the score. Bear Staples, DJ Godinez, Adrian Santoyo, and Kanoa Hoskins stepped in and played really well. The first three mentioned are sophomores and continue to show great improvements. We have just begun the season and their goal is to make it farther in the State Playoffs than last year. We hope that you can come support our girls and boys teams.
