The Nadaburg Unified School District is the K-12 school district in the town of Wittmann, Arizona. [2] It operates two elementary schools: Nadaburg Elementary (the historical school in the town), as well as Desert Oasis Elementary inside Surprise city limits. The district opened its first high school, called Mountainside High School, in 2020, although classes are currently being taught in one of the buildings at Nadaburg School. Prior to this, Nadaburg students attended Wickenburg High School in that town, roughly twenty miles up US 60.

Contents

As a unified school district in Arizona, the Nadaburg district has the authority to operate its own high school. A district must be considered "unified" to serve both K-8 and high school students, as demonstrated by the need for the J.O. Combs Unified School District to actually hold a unification vote before beginning to build its own high school.

On November 5, 2019, Nadaburg residents voted in favor of passing a bond that would go towards construction of a new high school. Ninth grade students will begin taking classes in the fall of 2020 in the existing Nadaburg School building, followed by tenth graders in the fall of 2021. Nadaburg was originally planning to open a high school by 2010, and then 2013. [3]

History

Upon W.H. Griffin filing his homestead petition in September 1920 establishing the town of Nadaburg, now Wittman, he drilled a well and built a small board and batten house which served as the town’s first school house. Griffin’s four oldest sons, along with eight or nine other pupils from other nearby homesteads, attended school. Helen Carpenter was the first teacher in that original school house. [4]

In 1921, a permanent structure was built but was damaged by fire in 1926. The building was rebuilt that same year which still stands today, now serving as the Nadaburg Unified School District Governing Board’s Boardroom, known as the “little red schoolhouse.” [4] [5]

Maricopa County threatened to close the school and the district in 1939 due to low attendance. As a result, Griffin advertised the school and district in newspapers offering five acres or two town lots in order to increase the local population and attendance. [4]

Schools

The Nadaburg School District has three schools. [6]

The district also offers online classes through its Virtual Academy.
