Schools contacts needed

This is from Colleen Sparks. Please contact her directly if you have sources or can assist.

I am writing a story for Phoenix Magazine's August issue about 15 outstanding K-12 public, private and charter schools in Maricopa County. For each of the 15 categories I will select one top school to write a short article about and then list other runners-up after that. I can only use a particular school district once, can't have the top 15 repeat any districts. I am looking for schools that offer something unique that is effective, including schools that don't always get the attention they deserve. Does anyone know any K-12 county schools strong in these areas: Sports, Special Education, Academics, After-school programs, Arts, School Newspaper/Yearbook, Music, Green Efforts, Public Service/Charity Work, Science, Diversity, College Prep, Second-language Learning (Not ESL, but Spanish, Chinese, etc.), Computer Technology and Health/Nutrition? Any ideas or names of good contacts (parents, teachers, etc.) who might have good ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! You can reach me at colleensreporter@hotmail.com.
