Superintendent

Dear Cave Creek Unified School District Community,

It is both an honor and a privilege to welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year. The beginning of a new school year brings hope, renewed purpose, and the excitement of new possibilities. Together, we embark on a fresh chapter filled with opportunities for growth, achievement, and success for every student.

As your new superintendent, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Cave Creek Unified School District community. I look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community members as we continue to build upon our district's strong tradition of excellence. Together, we will empower every student to discover their strengths, develop their talents, and achieve success both inside and outside the classroom.

Choosing a school district is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we are honored that so many families choose Cave Creek Unified School District. That trust is a responsibility we embrace with great pride. Our students consistently outperform state averages in academic achievement across grade levels, including ACT performance, while also benefiting from exceptional opportunities in fine arts, athletics, career and technical education, extracurricular activities, and student leadership. We are committed to providing every child with a well-rounded education that prepares them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in college, careers, and life.

Our mission extends beyond academic excellence. We strive to cultivate curious learners, compassionate citizens, resilient leaders, and innovative thinkers who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to an ever-changing world. Every student deserves the opportunity to be challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.

As superintendent, my commitment is to ensure that every decision we make is centered on the care of students. I will lead with integrity, transparency, and open communication while fostering strong partnerships with our families, staff, governing board, and community. Together, we will continue to strengthen the culture of excellence that defines Cave Creek Unified School District and create learning environments where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.

I am truly honored and excited to work alongside our outstanding educators, dedicated staff, talented administrators, supportive families, and engaged community. Thank you for entrusting us with your children. I look forward to an incredible year of learning, growth, and achievement as we move Leading Forward together with a champion mindset and an unwavering commitment to student success.

I wish each of you a wonderful and successful school year.

Leading Forward,

Dr. Nicole Regan
