Glendale Union High School District is a top-performing district in the Metro-Phoenix area. We are proud to offer open-enrollment opportunities to families who would like to choose one of our high schools for their teenager to attend. Open enrollment allows Arizona students to attend public high schools outside their attendance boundaries. 

The official Open Enrollment/Variance period for the 2025-2026 school year begins October 2.
