Tours allow guests to meet with school administration for a presentation, question and answer segment, and then break apart to see our incredible facilities. Tours last approximately 60-90 minutes.

- Do you have schedules to meet my family‘s needs?
- How do your students apply skills to cement them?

- What is your school rating?
- Are you a STEM school?

Prek - 6th grade Principal
Robin Yeargain
Greetings and welcome to EDUPRIZE, an amazing, A+ school with an incredible staff that has a heart for all children. My name is Robin Yeargain and I am so blessed to lead this community as the Elementary Principal. This is my 31st year in education, with 24 years in the classroom and 7 years in administration. I graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Bilingual Education and then earned my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. I taught 15 years in Scottsdale at Hohokam Elementary as a K-6 ESL teacher, and then I moved to EDUPRIZE for 9 years teaching third and fourth grade students. I was Dean of Students for three years and I am happy to start my 4th year as Principal. Making connections with people is my passion! I love to foster learning, whether it is in reading, writing, demonstrating strong character or growing to be a better person. My heart is with and for the kids, always! I truly love every aspect of EDUPRIZE, from the campus to the amazing teachers to the conscientious leaders and of course, to the most incredible families ever! I am thankful to be a part of EDUPRIZE and I look forward to another successful year of academic and personal growth for all!
