SCV35 phone lines have been restored and are now fully operational. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

SCV35 phone lines are currently down. We will update the community once service has been restored. In the meantime, staff email contacts are available on the SCV35 app and on our website at scv35.org.

Earlier this week, District Administration proudly recognized the Rio Rico Rotary as an outstanding community partner for the meaningful impact they continue to make for our students, staff, and community. Their support includes, but is not limited to, donating dictionaries to third-grade students, awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships to graduating seniors, hosting community events, recognizing Students and Staff of the Month, providing bikes for elementary students, and donating toys during the holiday season.
Their efforts reach every corner of our district, and we are truly grateful for their ongoing generosity, dedication, and commitment to our schools and the success of our students.

The Rio Rico High School Winter Guard is having an incredible season! After a strong start, the team was promoted to a higher competitive division mid-season, a reflection of their growth, skill, and performance quality. They rose to the challenge right away, earning an impressive 2nd place finish in their first competition at the new level!
Just one week later, they built on that momentum with an even stronger performance, capturing 1st place and the top score in their division. Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment continue to shine as they prepare for championships. We are proud of this group for embracing the challenge and showing what they’re capable of!
