Education, news & information

In the Benson Unified School District, we believe education is a community effort. Parents, staff, students, and the community all play a critical role in the education of our children. These partnerships are the bedrock of our success and truly promote our district motto “Benson Schools – On Track for Tomorrow”. We believe that investing in our children today will enrich our community for the future. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

The St. David Unified School District is located in the beautiful San Pedro Valley of Cochise County in St. David, Arizona. The community of St. David was established in 1877, and although there have been many changes over the years, it retains a unique atmosphere that can be traced to its foundations. A significant number of students currently enrolled in the district can trace their roots back to the original settlers. The community is proud of its small school environment. Situated on a two-school campus, the district serves about 400 students from pre-school through high school. Academics are the primary focus at all grade levels, and both the elementary and the high school are performing above average.

Our 13,000 square foot facility is comprised of several classrooms, two computer labs, and a learning center that serves as a virtual library. One classroom serves as a science and art lab, while another is equipped specially for our Allied Health nursing labs. The learning center has 16 computers available to students and the public for Internet access. We offer traditional general education, developmental, GED, Allied Health and personal interest classes both day and night to accommodate our students’ schedules.
