You’ve arrived at the virtual home of Fort Thomas Unified Schools. We are located in historical Fort Thomas, Arizona and we serve the communities of Fort Thomas and Bylas, Arizona in Southeastern Arizona.

Fort Thomas is located about 11 miles east of the San Carlos Apache Reservation on U.S. Highway 70, about 130 miles east of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Bylas is located near the eastern edge of the San Carlos Apache Reservation also on U.S. Highway 70.


Our district includes one high school (grades 7-12) and one elementary school (grades K-6) with a student population of approximately 600 students. 93% of our student body are Native Americans from the surrounding Apache Indian Reservation. We pride ourselves on our personalized instruction, a focus on individual needs and learning styles, and our small class sizes.

We hope you will find our Web site helpful and will explore some of the many informative pages and links we’ve provided. In addition to information like registration procedures, contact information for the various departments, and job postings and application procedures, we hope you’ll check out the many helpful parent and student Web resources we’ve included for both reference and enjoyment.

A message from our Superintendent

Welcome to our Web site. I hope that this will prove to be a useful tool as I begin my stay with you as your new Superintendent. One of my main goals in improving the academics among all of our students will begin right here. I believe that communication among parents, teachers, and students will be the key to making this happen.

Sincerely,

Dr. Leon Ben
Superintendent
