We are  thrilled to announce that Carrillo K-5 has received the prestigious A+ School of Excellence award from the Arizona Educational Foundation! This honor is given to schools that demonstrate superior ability in areas like student learning, school leadership, and community involvement. It is one of the highest state level recognitions a public school can achieve! To celebrate this achievement, students and staff enjoyed a sunny day with a BBQ picnic, fun school assembly, and a sweet finish with an ice cream party. Congratulations to the hardworking students and amazing staff for making this possible!

Our 2nd grade hosted their Life Cycles Showcase for their families, with music, projects, and Pathway for Paws animal shelter. The 2nd grade collected donations for the local shelter.

Carrillo proudly hosted our 89th Annual Las Posadas, a cherished tradition that brings the community together year after year. The celebration featured beautiful performances by the Wakefield Middle School Mariachi and Holladay Fine Arts Magnet Elementary School Folklórico dancers, making for a festive and meaningful evening. As always, the event was well attended by families and community members, highlighting the strong spirit and traditions of Carrillo. 

Carrillo students got an exciting introduction to the game of tennis thanks to a partnership with the Tucson Community Tennis Program! 🎾 Students learned the basics, practiced new skills, and had a great time staying active on the court.

Our students honored Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day with posters, speeches and a walk around our campus in solidarity with Ruby Bridges.

On October 22, multiple classes from Carrillo K-5 Magnet School had the opportunity to spend the morning at the Marana Pumpkin Patch. Each student and chaperone had the opportunity to pick their own pumpkin and were able to take part of different activities available in the park.

Our Cougars walked their way to some money for Carrillo!

This year's Literacy Night was one for the books!

Students at Carrillo made their voices heard as 16 fellow students made their final speeches to win over votes for one of the four open positions in our school's Student Council. After each nominee gave their own speech and explained to their fellow students why they should become either the Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President, or President, students went back to their classrooms to privately vote on their computers. The winners were announced at the end of the day.

Welcome back, Cougars!

The Alumni Celebration parade featured former Carrillo students, now high school seniors, who have gone back to celebrate with current Carrillo students!
