Why PHG?

Pride. Purpose. Possibility.

At Porfirio H. Gonzales Elementary School—affectionately known as PHG—we believe every student has the power to achieve great things. Rooted in tradition and driven by innovation, our school is a place where students are nurtured, challenged, and celebrated for who they are and who they are becoming.

A School Families Trust

PHG is known for its strong academics, committed staff, and supportive community. We create a safe, inclusive environment where students feel confident to take risks, express themselves, and grow—both inside and outside the classroom.

Enrichment That Inspires

• Our nationally-recognized mariachi program invites students to connect with culture and creativity through music.

• Clubs like Student Council, Jobs for Arizona Graduates (commonly referred to as JAG), and cooking club help students build leadership skills and confidence.

• Athletics and spirit events build teamwork, pride, and school connection.

A Whole-Child Approach

We believe in supporting the head and the heart. That is why PHG offers access to counseling, wellness support, and a strong sense of belonging in every classroom. Our team works closely with families to ensure every child feels seen, supported, and successful.
