About Tempe, Arizona
Tempe is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. Fort McDowell was established approximately 25 mi (40 km) northeast of present downtown Tempe on the upper Salt River in 1865 allowing for new towns to be built farther down the Salt River. Opened in September 2007, Tempe Center for the Arts is a community crown jewel for performing and visual arts. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?
