About Our School
What Makes Us Special
Mansfeld, located across from the University of Arizona, has a rich tradition of academic excellence. We are a nationally certified demonstration magnet school with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Teachers in all content areas embed STEM practices into their curriculum, preparing students to think critically and collaboratively as they solve problems. Additionally each quarter focuses students on answering an essential question that is addressed across campus from a variety of perspectives.
The focus on STEM subjects and processes has increased collaboration among teachers so that students can make connections between what they learn from one class and the next and can apply their knowledge beyond school. We also have a strong before- and after-school program to both improve and enrich student learning.

Mansfeld students were excited about the opportunity to learn more about the OSIRIS-REx mission to collect a sample from the Bennu asteroid! Dr. Pierre Haenecour, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, first visited Mansfeld after the sample return and he came back to talk about the progress that has been made now that the sample has landed and is being studied at the UofA.
