Taylor even brought her puppy to check out the first day of school!

It's Back to School today, as thousands of children across the tri-city area head back to the classroom. Prescott Unified School District (PUSD), Humboldt Unified School District (HUSD), and Chino Valley Unified School District(CVUSD) are all starting today.
