Two Peoria Accelerated High School team members had their lessons selected by the Arizona Department of Education and received an "ADE approved gold star icon". The lesson plans by Lisa Nahrgang and Amanda McClanahan, created during their participation in the AZTeach 21 class, will be published in the IDEAL Learning Research Manager. The Learning Resource Manager (LRM) is a searchable online database of curricular resources, including trade books, lesson plans, reading passages, media, examples, assessment items, and links to external web sites. Resources that display the "ADE Approved gold star icon" have been developed or reviewed by the Arizona Department of Education, have quality content, and are aligned to the Arizona Academic Standards.

On October 29 and 30, Kiara Scrafano, Kat Muniz, and Tabitha Hillman attended the Junior State of America Fall Congress for the state of Arizona. This was Peoria Accelerated’s first ever JSA event. At the Fall Congress, students from Yuma, Miami, Hayden, Tucson, Nogales, and the Greater Phoenix area attended the event, along with a student delegation from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Students participated in a mock Congress where student written bills were debated on both in committee and on the floor of both the House of Representatives and Senate. Peoria Accelerated’s own Kiara Scrafano was selected by her peers in her House committee as best speaker. Congratulations Kiara.
