Mr. Corey new School Leader

Dear Sidewinder families,

We hope you are enjoying your holiday break! The faculty and staff of Estrella High School would like to take an opportunity to thank all of our students and parents for their efforts throughout the first half of this school year. With our winter break coming to a close, we are working hard to prepare for continued success in the second half of the year.

As we begin our third block of this school year, Estrella High School welcomes a new school leader to our team, Mr. JD Corey.

Mr. Corey has been active in Arizona education for the last ten years as a teacher, curriculum coach, administrator and athletic coach. He earned his degree in secondary education with a focus in social sciences from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mr. Corey has experience as a national education presenter, professional development coordinator and curriculum designer. He has been with the Leona Group since 2013 at our sister school West Phoenix High School where he has served as assistant school leader and curriculum coach. He was also part of the Leona Group’s inaugural aspiring school leader cohort. Mr. Corey is excited to join the Estrella High School family and is committed to working with students to help them reach their educational goals.

We would also like to recognize and sincerely thank Mrs. Casey Zordani for all of her hard work and dedication to the students, parents, staff and faculty of Estrella High School during her time as school leader. Mrs. Zordani accomplished many great things at Estrella High School and we wish her the best of luck in her next role as she remains a part of the Leona Group family.

Together, we are ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities awaiting us in 2015, including new state testing on the horizon, extraordinary school events and spirit week competitions throughout the coming months, and wrapping up the year with the graduation of our accomplished Class of 2015.

We would like to thank you again for making Estrella High School your school of choice for your child(ren)’s education. We appreciate your support and we thank you for warmly welcoming Mr. Corey to our Estrella family.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school at any time by calling us at 623.932.6561.

Sincerely,

Estrella High School faculty and staff
