History
The Queen Creek school district did not open a high school until 1986, when it became a unified school district;[3] previously, the school district bused high school students to other schools far from town.[4] In 1988, the school graduated its first class of 22 seniors, attending classes in a 12-room school building.[4] By the fall of 1988, Queen Creek High had 387 students.[5] Two years later, its principal retired in an uproar over the alteration of the low grades of 50 students.[6] The fast-growing school, housed in a former elementary school with additional portable classroom buildings,[7] was approved in 1999 to move to a new site at Signal Butte and Ocotillo roads[8] The new school opened in 2002 and allowed Queen Creek's middle school to absorb the former high school site.[9]
In November 2012, their football team won the Division III state championship with an undefeated 14–0 season.[10]
The Queen Creek Unified School District opened a second high school, Eastmark High School, in 2019, with the northern portion of the district being zoned into the new school.
