In the early 2000s, the founding co-directors - Carrie Brennan, Eve Rifkin and Brett Goble - collaborated with a team of highly qualified teachers, interested families, innovative community partners, and an active board of directors, to build a school that matched this vision. City High School now enrolls close to 200 students in grades 9-12 and has over 125 graduates pursuing a variety of college and career pathways in Arizona and beyond.
The school is housed in the historic Cele Peterson building on Pennington Street in downtown Tucson. The school's location and size allow teachers and students to engage in frequent field studies, using Tucson as a textbook and engaging in real world learning. As I sit in the courtyard at my institution of higher education, I can't help but think that without CITY, I would not be where I am today.
