Last updated

Compadre Academy (formerly Compadre High School) is a high school in the Tempe Union High School District in Tempe, Arizona. It serves as a faster paced alternative high school for students who wish to get ahead in their high school credits. Compadre Academy formerly consisted of two campuses due to one of the schools being under construction to add more facilities. Subsequently, the other school was closed and has since had its students moved to the now much larger and renovated campus.
