Military Supports & Resources
Welcome to Luke!
On behalf of Luke Elementary, an A-rated school in the Dysart Unified School District, we thank you for you and your families service to our country and welcome you to Luke Air Force Base.
We are honored to serve the children of your family. This webpage provides links to resources that may prove useful in making the transition into our community easy. As one of the approximately two million military-connected children in America, your student will join the 15,000 school-age children of active-duty families here in Arizona. Whether this Permanent Change of Service makes Glendale or the surrounding areas your home post of if you're deployed and sending your children to our school, we are proud to help make your time with us as rewarding and enriching as possible.
