Bisbee High School is a high school in Bisbee, Arizona, United States. It is part of the Bisbee Unified School District, which also operates an elementary school and a junior high school. The high school runs on a four-day school week.
The old Bisbee High School is at 100 Old Douglas Rd, Bisbee, AZ (31.43°N -109.8919°W)Bisbee High School was designed by architect Norman F. Marsh and constructed in 1914. It housed around 450 students a year until closing in the late fifties after the construction of a new high school. The building is three stories and is noted for having a ground-level entrance on each floor. After closing as a high school, the building began to serve as offices for Cochise County, such as the district library, the health department for a time, and for elections, and adult probation services. Today, the building is vacant and waiting to be renovated into an apartment complex.[3] [4] During some recent construction, the job supervisor was shot and killed by a disgruntled former employee outside the Old Bisbee High School. It appears the matter is still under investigation.[5]
The current school was built in 1957/58 at 325 School Terrace Rd, Bisbee, AZ. The campus was designed by Edward L. Varney Associates of Phoenix. The construction contract to build the new campus was awarded to D. O. Norton & Son Construction Co. and Mullen Construction Co. both of Phoenix.[6]
