Vail Unified School District

Founded in 1903, the Vail Unified School District (often shortened to simply Vail School District) is the school district in the town of Vail, Arizona. It also serves portions of nearby Tucson, Arizona.

It operates an inclusive preschool, ten elementary schools, six middle schools, and five high schools, plus the Vail Academy and High School, a K-12 school, serving a population of more than 14,000 students from preschool to twelfth grade.[1]

History

The district began operations in 1903.[2]

In 1999 the School Facilities Board of the State of Arizona approved funding the construction of a comprehensive high school for the district, which previously did not have one. The anticipated construction was for $24,300,000, with an expected opening time in 2001.[3]
