Official Web Site of the City of Phoenix

Phoenix is Your City

Introduction

More importantly, Phoenix is Your City is also an invitation to create lessons and projects that relate directly to students' lives by focusing on the city in which they live. The city of Phoenix reflects the people who live here. City government exists because the citizens created it, and it is responsive to its citizens because they are involved.

The city of Phoenix provides a wealth of opportunities for experiential learning. Students' understanding of local government can be increased with some of the suggested activities, or the study of the city of Phoenix can be expanded in your classroom using city publications or resources.
