Good morning, Queen Creek.

Queen Creek High School senior Mario Aleman III was named one of 20 Arizona students to receive the prestigious Flinn Scholarship after a tough application process—this merit-based award recognizes his academic achievements.

Queen Creek’s Pavement Preservation Division has partnered with Roadway Asset Services to drive a special van through town over the next few weeks to assess road conditions.

The vehicle uses sensors, laser technology and cameras — the data will be added to the asset management system to develop a pavement-management plan for maintaining the town’s roadways.
