Thank you so much for your participation and support for one of our schools in our District!  
 
   
The Thomas J. Pappas School was founded in 1989. In its early existence there were only 8 children and the school was held at a shelter. Soon it became obvious there were going to be more children, and needed to move to other locations in the downtown Phoenix area. In 1990, Dr. Sandra E. Dowling started the Thomas J. Pappas School in a renovated car dealership, where we remained for 6 years.  In 1997, the new Pappas School was built for children Kindergarten through 5th grade. The old location is now the Pappas Jr. High and High School.  
 
 
   
Our Mission    
The mission of Thomas J. Pappas school is to develop within all students the leadership qualities to fulfill their roles as responsible citizens of a changing world. We provide an equitable education that promotes inquiry, positive decision-making, effective communication, cultural appreciation, and life long learning experiences. We provide enrichment opportunites to curtail homelessness.
 
Thomas J. Pappas schools:
 
Phoenix Pappas Regional Elementary School  
Phoenix Pappas Regional Middle School  
Tempe Pappas Regional Elementary School

It is my favorite cause here locally. Every year we buy backpacks and stuff them with school supplies and personal hygiene products and deliver them to the school just prior to the start of the school year. I also perform maintenance on their medical equipment in the nurses office. I am totally selfish in doing this because it makes me feel so darn good! The government has tried on a number of occasions to try and shut them down yet they continue to prosper. Here's to the Thomas J. Pappas school staff, volunteers and students  Cool Cool Cool
