Yuma High School (often referred to simply as Yuma High) is the oldest high school in Yuma, Arizona. History The school was established in 1909. Yuma High's mascot came when the original school building was destroyed by fire in 1910. The school then used the Yuma Territorial Prison, which had been closed, for the next three years.

In 1914, the school board began construction of a new school at 400 South 6th Avenue (where the current campus is today).

At first, this was a fighting word to the school community, but by 1917, it had stuck, and the name was officially adopted by the school board. Yuma Union thus became the only high school i ...
