This past weekend, we celebrated 20 incredible years of City High School with a beautiful gathering of former staff, founders, students, families, and community members. It was a joyful evening filled with stories, laughter, and connection — a true reflection of what City High is all about.

We are deeply grateful to our event sponsors who made the celebration possible:
Presidio Tucson, The Loft Cinema, La Suprema Works, and DeConcini, McDonald, Yetwin, and Lacy PC.
A special thank you as well to Marcela from The Little One for generously donating the meal, Perche No for donating the coffee, Nadine’s Bakery for the delicious cookies, and Melissa from Green Bee Home Services for donating plants to brighten our garden space.

Thank you to everyone who joined us — here’s to the next 20 years of learning, community, and heart!

We are thrilled to celebrate Annalie Earley Clark for her incredible achievement at the Arizona State Science and Engineering Fair! Annalie placed 3rd in the Plant Science category, earning recognition for her hard work, curiosity, and dedication to scientific inquiry.

Along with her award, Annalie received a cash prize — a testament to the quality and impact of her project. We are so proud of Annalie’s accomplishments and the way she represents City High’s spirit of excellence and innovation. Congratulations, Annalie!

We are so proud of our student, Owen Pearson, for his outstanding achievements in gymnastics! Owen recently competed at Regionals in Ontario, California, where he placed 6th on pommel and was honored with the Academic All-American Award from USA Gymnastics — a recognition of both his athletic talent and academic excellence.

This past weekend, Owen took his skills even further, competing at Nationals. His hard work, dedication, and spirit are an inspiration to all of us at City High. Congratulations, Owen — we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next!

Yesterday, City High celebrated our last Community Day of the school year and what a day it was!

Once a quarter, our students step out of the classroom and into the world, spending the day volunteering, exploring, and connecting with the vibrant experiences available right here in @downtowntucson.

This time, our students had the chance to visit and support an incredible lineup of local organizations:

🧗‍♂️ Playformance
🪨 Rocks and Ropes
🧗‍♀️ Premesis Skate Park
🖼 Alfie Museum
🏛 UAMA
🔭 Flandrau Science Center
🍡 BATA
🐾 El Jefe Cat Cafe

🎨 Some students helped paint a new mural at Playformance, while others rolled up their sleeves to clean, plant, and beautify the alley behind our school; a project that truly transforms our shared space.

A huge thank you to The Loft Cinema for sponsoring Community Days this year and helping us make these memorable experiences possible.

💛 At City High, we believe learning extends beyond the classroom and days like this remind us just how powerful that can be.

City High School students made an incredible impact at this year’s Southern Arizona Research, Science, and Engineering Foundation (SARSEF) competition, bringing home multiple awards and honors for their outstanding projects! Under the guidance of teacher Steve Beall, students in the STEM Research class and BIO 109 Pima Dual Enrollment course showcased their scientific skills and dedication.

• 11th grade student Orion received a prestigious award from the Office of Naval Research on Science and Technology for their impressive work.
• 12th grade and 11th grade students Ari and Aleph earned 3rd place in the Cellular and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry category and were recognized with the Phi Beta Kappa Association of Greater Tucson Award of Excellence.
• 11th grade student Annalie took home the Prescott College Science Award for Valuable Contribution and won 1st Place in Plant Science, earning a spot at the STATE competition!

We are so proud of our young scientists and their incredible achievements. Congratulations to all! 🎉
