Governing Board and Superintendent

Welcome to the Payson Unified School District website. Devoted to educational excellence for our children in partnership with our community, we believe all children will excel if given the opportunities and the rich experiences offered at Payson schools.  I and the other governing board members are proud of our schools’ innovative educational system and our staff’s commitment to ensure that each student develops the skills and attributes for lifelong learning and has the ability to compete and contribute in the global community. Together, we are working proactively to overcome the current economical challenges and are striving to provide a positive and safe educational experience in which our children will succeed and grow.  Feel free to contact us with any concerns or questions.  We value your input.
