## History

[edit]

Desert View High School opened in 1985[3] with 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade classes. The new school was designed with the philosophy that it was an educational regime, focussed on on itself and set apart from its community. The building was thus designed with no windows, and a single entrance that would present an "impregnable face to the world".[4]

Desert View is one of three high schools in the Sunnyside school district; the other two being Sunnyside High School and Star Academic High School. It is ranked #170 amongst Arizona high schools, and #1 in the Sunnyside Unified School District.[5] Lying close to the Valencia reserve border, the school has the largest population of Native Americans in any off-reservation school in Tucson.[6]
