El Mirage is a Preschool through 4th grade elementary school in the Dysart Unified School District. Originally opened in 1958. The building was redone in 2004. El Mirage is the second oldest school in the Dysart District. Our vision is to empower our students, staff, and community to build strong healthy minds and bodies. Our signature program, the Health and Wellness Academy, ensures that the physical, emotional, and intellectual needs of all our students are met.
We recognize the importance of academically preparing our students for college and careers, while teaching the skills necessary to become well-rounded, healthy individuals. Through health and wellness experiences, college preparation, and physical fitness, students will achieve their full potential and learn life-long skills for success.
