We are proud to call ourselves AVMS Eagles! We take pride in our exceptional faculty and staff and the services we provide for all of our students. We want you to be aware of the variety of services and experiences we provide as well as our mission and vision.

Welcome to Altar Valley Middle School

Welcome to AVMS, proud home of the Eagles! We are located just southwest of Sasabe Road and Ajo Highway, in Tucson, Arizona. We are one of two schools in the Altar Valley Elementary School District, and we serve students in 6th through 8th grade.

We are honored to educate the youth in our area and offer many programs for families and students. We believe all students can SOAR when given the opportunity, and we strive every day to make this a reality for the many middle schoolers on our campus.

Take some time to browse our website. We’ve loaded it with helpful information such as how to contact us, frequently asked questions, and our school calendar. We know you’ll find this a useful resource. Thanks for stopping by!
