Desert Mirage at a Glance

Desert Mirage was established in 1993 in Glendale, AZ in the Pendergast Elementary School District. Our dedicated and innovative staff is honored to serve over 750 preschool through eighth grade scholars. We support our scholar community through differentiated STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) programming, rigorous academics, and social emotional support. We serve a diverse population and we pride ourselves on building and maintaining strong relationships. Our motto is One School, One Family and we consistently practice this in our actions with our students, families, partners, with each other, and our community. Desert Mirage has unique opportunities in every grade level that provide project-based learning experiences aligned to the District’s Portrait of a Graduate. Scholars thrive by creating projects and cooking in the Makerspace. Within the FUSE Lab, project-based learning is enriched through scholar interest-based challenges. After school, scholars end their school day with Interscholastic Sports, eSports and a variety of Project-Based after-school clubs. We invite you to join the Desert Mirage family!
