Voters Approve J.O. Combs District Unification

Voters in the Pinal County J.O. Combs school district have approved the $18 million bond to supplement state funding on a new high school.  By 2009, students will be able to attend high school in their own community.  J.O. Combs students will now have a high school of their own.  Previously, students had to go outside the district to Queen Creek, Higley, Coolidge, Apache Junction, or Florence High Schools. 

J.O. Combs could be able to teach high school as early as fall of 2007. However, district officials have not decided whether students will be taught in existing facilities or wait until the new high school is built in 2009.

Voters also approved the $30 million bond to supplement state funding on new elementary and middle schools.

The San Tan Heights subdivision off of Hunt Highway in Queen Creek has two elementary schools.  The Mountain Vista K-8 School and The San Tan Heights Elementary School are in the Coolidge Unified School District.  These San Tan area schools have Queen Creek mailing addresses, but technically they are in Pinal County.
