Dodge has been recognized as a 'B' school by the Arizona Department of Education for the 2023-2024 school year!

Two of our 8th grade students presented the Land Acknowledgement and Pledge of Allegiance at the April 15, 2025 Governing Board meeting!

Our 6th grade team attended their annual UA Science Sky School field trip. This is a science-based overnight experience at the University of Arizona's Mount Lemmon campus. Students got to participate in field experiences that focus on science areas such as sky island ecology, earth sciences, dendrochronology, hydrology, and astronomy that meet Arizona State Science Standards.
