School Resource Officer

  • Palo Verde Middle School is proud to have a School Resource Officer (SRO) on our campus. An SRO is a law enforcement officer who helps train and educate school staff members and students, develop safety plans and serve as a liaison between schools and outside agencies, in addition to enforcing laws. Meet our SRO below.

  • Officer Hightower, School Resource Officer

    In addition to having a full-time social worker on our campus, we also have a full-time school resource officer through the Phoenix Police Department. The SRO is an integral component on our campus in responding to and dealing with any emergency situations, emergency plans, and identifying potential risks to protect our students and staff. The SRO teaches all students law-related education lessons (during social studies class) and participates in school-wide goals. These goals are to focus on relationship building, behavior, expectations of respect, responsibility and safety. Officer Hightower has an office on our campus and may be contacted at PV.ResourceOfficer@wesdschools.org
