Growth and Leadership Opportunities
Tucson Unified School District offers many opportunities to develop our staff into the professionals and leaders that will shape our children's future.
As part of an institution that revolves around learning, we find that it is never too early (or late) to expand our knowledge.
Master's Cohort in Educational Leadership
The District has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Arizona Universities, including the University of Arizona, Grand Canyon University, and Northern Arizona University, to allow Tucson Unified School District teachers to work to obtain their Master’s degree at a reduced cost.

Leadership Prep Academy
The Leadership Prep Academy (LPA) cultivates the leadership skills of certificated staff members who are interested in pursuing administrative positions at TUSD. The LPA includes working sessions spread out over the academic year, along with regular meetings to network with District, businesses, and community leaders. Each year, 20-25 employees are selected to participate in the LPA Cohort.Interested in learning more? Contact us!
