Welcome to Our School District
Welcome to the home of the Red Rock Raiders. We are a small, rural school district located in Red Rock, Arizona, centered one hour from Phoenix and 30 minutes from Tucson, Arizona. You’ll find our town in the lower Santa Cruz River Valley, near Picacho Peak State Park. We serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Our faculty and staff value each child as an individual, while helping all our students continually strive for their personal best.
We hope you like our website. It contains a lot of helpful information, such as the school calendar, news and events going on in our school, and how to get in touch with us. We hope this site will answer any questions you may have about our district. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, please stop in and see us. We are here not only to provide a quality education for our students but also to serve our community. We would love to see you.
