Pro Tip from the Eagle

Three sports, AP coursework, and a 6:00 AM practice? The schedule bends.

Most Gilbert families we hear from juggle club sports (Higley, Mesquite, Williams Field), AP tracks, and parents on rotating clinical shifts at Banner Gateway. Self-paced means class starts when the student is ready, not when the bell rings. The Eagle’s seen swimmers, gymnasts, and cross-country runners stay on a 4-year diploma timeline without dropping a practice.
