YUMA UNION HIGH SCHOOL COST $50,000 



Yuma and all of the lands under the Yuma project are well 

 supplied with churches and schools. The Yuma Union High School 

 Building was completed in the fall of 1914. The building cost $50,000. 

 The building, grounds, experimental farm and the furniture and 

 fixtures have cost the Union High School District $72,000. The 

 district embraces practically all of the lands under the Yuma project. 

 A principal and six teachers are employed. One hundred and fifty 

 pupils are enrolled. All of the advantages of the best high school 

 education are offered to the children of Yuma and surrounding 

 country. 



Two grammar school buildings are used for the lower grades. 

 A principal and twenty teachers are employed. Seven hundred 

 children are in attendance. The increase of the number of pupils in 

 the district will necessitate the erection of another building during 

 the coming year. 



Good schools with competent teachers and satisfactory equipment 

 and buildings are to be found in all of the valley country around 

 Yuma. Each school, however small, is provided each year with a 

 fund of $1000 with which to employ teachers and pay the expenses 

 of the school. Yuma county has as good schools as are to be found 

 in Arizona and Arizona has as good schools as any state in the Union 

 of States. The person looking for a place in which to locate and 

 educate his children cannot do better than to make his home in Yuma. 



The teachers employed in both the high school and the grammar 

 schools are the best that can be procured. Many of them are home 

 teachers who came to Yuma to teach and became so enamored of the 

 country that they remained to live.
